This kit is intended for advanced modelers seeking to recreate with extraordinary accuracy one of the most powerful armored vehicles of World War II.

Historical Description

The Sd.Kfz 182 King Tiger with Porsche turret was used by Germany during World War II, introduced to the front in 1944. This tank was distinguished by its exceptionally thick armor (up to 150 mm on the hull front) and a powerful 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 main gun. The Porsche turret version was produced in a limited number of about 50 units due to technical issues with the suspension design. Nevertheless, these vehicles took part in the heaviest battles on the Eastern and Western fronts as well as during the defense of Berlin.
