VI Ausf.B "Königstiger" (King Tiger) with Henschel turret in the popular 1/35 scale. The set is designed to enhance plastic King Tiger tank models, allowing you to add realistic details that far exceed the standard components of basic kits.

Historical Background of the Model

The King Tiger was one of the most powerful German armored vehicles of World War II, used by the German army between 1944 and 1945. The famous version with the Henschel turret took part in battles on the Eastern Front, in Normandy, and during the Ardennes Offensive. Due to its powerful 88 mm gun and heavy armor, it became a battlefield legend, although it was also known for its complex handling and low mechanical reliability.
