Italeri's 72005 presents the Sd. Kfz.182 King Tiger in 1/72 scale with a focus on the tank's profile and major fittings. The kit is aimed at modellers who like to build accurate wartime vehicles without using excessive space.
The King Tiger, or Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, saw service from 1944 and was recognised for its heavy protection and main gun. While the real vehicle relied on a powerful engine to move its mass, Italeri translates those signature elements into a scaled plastic assembly that highlights form and detail.
The model is rewarding to assemble for those who enjoy detailed work. It requires glue and careful fitting of small parts; painting will personalise the finish. Its modest dimensions make it an easy addition to existing 1/72 displays or dedicated shelves.
