Historical description:

The King Tiger with Henschel turret was the most advanced German tank of the late World War II period. Thanks to its powerful 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 gun and thick armor (modified with the anti-magnetic Zimmerit coating), this vehicle struck fear on the battlefields of both the Eastern and Western fronts in 1944–1945. It took part, among other battles, in the Battle of the Bulge and in the fighting on the Eastern Front, being a key component of German armored troops. The unique Henschel turret—produced as a solution to the flaws of the prototype Porsche turrets—was appreciated thanks to its improved protective profile.

Model kit features:

• Extremely detailed replication of features in 1/72 scale
• Realistic Zimmerit texture – ready to be painted
• Accurately divided hull and turret, separately rotatable components

Recommendation and difficulty level:

The model requires careful assembly and painting, making it best suited for those with some experience (difficulty level: 3/5). It is also an excellent base for a historical diorama in 1/72 scale.
