Academy 13229 - 1/35 German King Tiger 'Last Production' Kit Insight

The Academy 1/35 German King Tiger 'Last Production' captures the commanding presence of this late-war heavy tank. Known for heavy armor protection and a powerful 88mm main gun, the King Tiger was a key battlefield asset. This kit represents the final production details and is aimed at modellers who want an authentic build.

Context and Appeal for Modellers

Introduced in the latter part of World War II, the Tiger II combined substantial armor with a high-performance gun. The 'Last Production' iteration includes late-series refinements. For modellers, the kit provides components that mirror those late-war changes for accurate recreations.

Construction Notes

Academey designed this kit to challenge intermediate and advanced builders. Attention to alignment on the road wheels, suspension and turret parts is important, and small-detail pieces need careful handling. Completed builds make for compelling display pieces with strong historical presence.

Specifications

Build time varies with experience and finish level; allow several sessions for assembly plus extra time for painting and weathering.
