Trumpeter 07201 1/72 Scale King Tiger Sd.Kfz. 182 Henschel Turret

The King Tiger earned its reputation for heavy armour and a powerful 88mm gun, traits that this Trumpeter 07201 1/72 kit seeks to represent in miniature. The moulded detail on hull and turret gives a convincing scale appearance, making it a solid subject for display or dioramas.

Scale Interest and Historical Notes

Born from the Tiger series, the King Tiger improved protection and offensive capability. The Henschel turret is a key late-war subtype and is captured well here, offering builders a window into the design priorities of the period. The kit provides a compact study in armoured vehicle design.

Practical Build Guidance

Supplied as 101 grey plastic parts plus two separate track components across four sprues, the kit assembles into a faithful small-scale replica. Builders should work with small files and brushes to keep detail crisp and to achieve clean joins for the hull and turret seams.

This kit focuses on exterior detail and does not include interior components, so it is intended for closed-hatch displays.
Use standard polystyrene cement or liquid plastic cement in small amounts; CA glue can be used for quick fixes but may need careful application to avoid visible residues.
Thin acrylics or enamel washes work well for 1/72 scale; apply light chipping and dusting to suggest wear without obscuring fine moulded detail.
