Trumpeter 1/72 Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger with Porsche Turret

The Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger combined a powerful long-barrel 88mm gun with heavy armor to dominate late World War II engagements. Trumpeter's 1/72 rendition captures the Porsche turret profile and overall stance in a compact scale for model display.
