This 1/72 plastic assembly kit represents the German Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger equipped with the Henschel turret, created as a compact heavy tank model suited to experienced builders and collectors.
The King Tiger, or Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. B (Sd.Kfz.182), was developed during 1942-43 as an evolution of the Tiger I, offering heavier armour and a long 88 mm gun. Production was limited and the vehicle was deployed late in the war, mainly in defensive operations across both Eastern and Western theatres.
The kit provides a small-format rendition with emphasis on external fidelity and scale proportions. Moulded parts include hull, turret and external fittings organised across several sprues; the tracks are supplied as separate pieces. Decals present late-war German three-colour camouflage schemes. Builders should be prepared to apply paint and finish/weathering to achieve a convincing display result.
A concise 1/72 King Tiger kit concentrating on external scale accuracy and neat sprue layout, suitable for shelf display and small dioramas.
