The German Sd.Kfz. 182 King Tiger, equipped with the formidable Henschel turret and Zimmerit coating, stands as a testament to World War II armored engineering. Known officially as the Pz.kpfw VI Tiger II Ausf. B, this tank was unmatched in firepower and armor protection, making it a formidable presence on the battlefield. The Trumpeter 1:72 scale model captures this legendary vehicle's essence, offering hobbyists a detailed and historically accurate representation.
Introduced during the latter years of World War II, the King Tiger was designed to replace the earlier Tiger I. It featured a powerful long 88mm gun and robust armor, which rendered it nearly invulnerable to Allied tanks. This model by Trumpeter allows enthusiasts to delve into the intricate design and historical significance of this iconic tank. Its 1:72 scale provides a manageable yet detailed build, ideal for both display and educational purposes.
With 103 plastic parts, this kit offers a satisfying assembly experience that requires careful attention to detail. The inclusion of Zimmerit, an anti-magnetic mine paste, adds to the model's authenticity, reflecting the real-world modifications made to these tanks. Once completed, the King Tiger's impressive dimensions and historical accuracy make it a standout piece in any military model collection.
