The German King Tiger, officially known as the Panzerkampfwagen VI-B Tiger II, stands as a symbol of engineering prowess during World War II. Developed to counter the formidable Russian tanks, this heavy tank featured thick armor and an 88mm high-velocity main gun. The King Tiger's production began in August 1944 at the Henschel factory, incorporating advanced technology of the era, though only a limited number were produced.
The King Tiger was equipped with a Maybach HL230 P30 V-12 engine, generating 700 horsepower. Its design included a turret front armor thickness of 185mm, making it a formidable opponent on the battlefield. For model enthusiasts, the Tamiya 1/35 scale kit offers a chance to recreate this iconic vehicle with precision and attention to historical detail.
This Tamiya kit comes with detailed plastic parts molded in light brown and black, accurately depicting the tank's exterior features. The static display model includes an authentic 88mm gun, flexible tracks, and a lifelike commander figure, enhancing its realism. Additional features such as waterslide decals and vinyl netting for the air intake cover offer modelers an engaging build experience.
