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.

Flexible tracks accept paint well when primed correctly. Use thin coats and consider an acrylic primer designed for plastic, then weather with washes and drybrushing for a realistic finish.
Aftermarket metal barrels, etched brass details and upgraded photo-etch screens can enhance accuracy. Choose parts designed for 1/35 King Tiger Porsche turret to ensure fit and scale correctness.
