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.
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.
This kit is a static modeller's choice, with precision-moulded parts in light brown and black plastic, a dynamic commander figure, and flexible track links that improve realism. The model also includes details like opening hatches and an intake mesh, plus waterslide decals and full pictorial instructions to guide the build.
