TAMIYA Tank SdKfz.182 King Tiger VI model kit, WWII period, 300035164, 1:35

Tamiya branded ready-to-assemble plastic precision static model kit. It is supplied unpainted and is ideal for model makers and painters! Required to complete: cement, paint and finishing supplies. This is a 1/35 scale plastic assembly kit of the German King Tiger Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger II. The King Tiger made its debut in 1944, toward the end of World War II, and proved a fearsome foe to the Allies, with 150mm and 80mm armour on the hull front and sides respectively, and a powerful 700hp Maybach HL230-P30 engine. The first fifty had a Porsche-designed turret, but thereafter mass-produced King Tigers had an updated turret designed by Henschel. The L/71 88mm gun was upgraded from the Tiger I, and could defeat 170mm of armour from a kilometre away. Some 430 of these King Tigers were produced until the end of the run in March 1945, proving a constant threat to the end. Ideal for model builders and hobbyists to recreate the iconic mid-production version of the German World War II tank. A handy booklet with build instructions is included within the box.
