This is a 1/72 scale plastic assembly kit representing the German Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger fitted with the Henschel turret, intended as a compact display-scale heavy tank model suitable for experienced builders and collectors.
The real King Tiger, officially Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. B (Sd.Kfz.182), was developed during World War II as a successor to the Tiger I. Work on the design began in 1942-43, aiming for heavier armor and a long 88mm gun. The vehicle combined thick frontal protection with a powerful armament, and it saw limited production and deployment late in the war, primarily in defensive operations on the Eastern and Western fronts.
The kit provides a small-format representation focused on external detail and accurate proportions for the 1/72 scale. Moulded components include hull, turret, and ancillary fittings, arranged across multiple sprues for organised assembly. Track elements are provided as separate parts. Decal options reflect late-war German three-color camouflage schemes. Builders should plan for basic paint and finishing to achieve field-correct tones and subtle weathering for display.
A compact 1/72 interpretation of the King Tiger that focuses on external accuracy and sprue organisation, suitable for display builds and dioramas in small scales.
