Tamiya 35169 - 1/35 King Tiger Porsche Turret museum-quality static model  [35169]

Tamiya 35169 1/35 King Tiger Porsche Turret static build

The King Tiger, or Panzerkampfwagen VI-B, is a standout late-war German heavy tank recognised for its 88mm armament and heavy frontal armour. The Porsche turret variant is notable for its curved front profile. Tamiya 35169 renders this version in 1/35 scale with attention to external detail suited for display collectors.

Design background and wartime use

Developed to meet the need for superior armour and firepower, the King Tiger entered service in 1943. The Porsche turret variant differed in shape from the more common Henschel turret and, despite production limits, served in combat alongside other late-war armour types.
