Trumpeter 07291 German King Tiger (H) Zimmerit Small Scale Kit  [TP07291]

Trumpeter 1:72 German King Tiger with Zimmerit - Small Scale, Big Presence

The Sd.Kfz. 182 King Tiger, sporting the Henschel turret and Zimmerit anti-magnetic coating, stands out in WWII armoured history. Officially the Pz.kpfw VI Tiger II Ausf. B, the vehicle combined heavy protection with the long 88mm gun. The Trumpeter 07291 captures those key traits in a compact 1:72 build that looks sharp on a shelf or in a small diorama.

Historical overview and modeller hints

Deployed in the later stages of the war, the King Tiger was intended to overmatch earlier Allied armour with superior firepower and thicker plating. This kit gives modellers a clear view of the turret layout and hull contours in a convenient scale that is suited to study models and classroom displays.

Construction and finishing notes

Comprising 103 plastic parts across eight sprues, the model offers a focused build that benefits from careful part cleaning and dry fitting. The authentic Zimmerit texture and German Army decals help reproduce period-correct surface detail and markings for a faithful finish.
