Italeri 72005 - 1/72 Sd. Kfz.182 King Tiger: Kit Summary

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.

Historical Notes and Visual Fidelity

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.

Building and Display Considerations

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Parts: Detailed components for accurate build
Some parts will benefit from careful trimming and light sanding after removal from the sprues to ensure flush joins and neat seams during assembly.
Painting is recommended to reveal fine detail and achieve a realistic finish; unpainted plastic will lack the depth and contrast of a finished model.
Its 1/72 scale and clear silhouette make it straightforward to pair with other vehicles for combined displays or small diorama scenes.
