Italeri 7004 1/72 King Tiger - Scale model of a WWII heavy armour classic

The Italeri 1/72 King Tiger kit enables enthusiasts to build a scaled representation of a heavy German tank from WWII. Famous for its 88mm main gun and strong frontal armour, the King Tiger combined heavy firepower with challenging maintenance demands. Model builders often enjoy the kit for its technical parts and the chance to depict mechanical detail in miniature.

Historical overview and operational notes

Officially the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B, the King Tiger was a standout in late war armoured warfare due to its lethal long-range gun. Operationally it faced logistical and mechanical hurdles, yet its battlefield role and engineering legacy make it a staple subject for scale modelling and historical displays.

Assembly appeal and finishing ideas

This 1/72 Italeri kit offers defined surfaces and parts that reward careful assembly. Builders can focus on painting, subtle weathering and small rigging to bring realism to the model. The compact scale makes it easy to fit into larger diorama scenes or display cabinets.
