Easy-to-enjoy Military Assembly Kit

About the Real Vehicle
The King Tiger, equipped with the powerful 88mm gun as its main armament, was completed in 1943 during World War II and began active deployment in 1944.
It adopted the long-barrel 71 caliber 88mm tank gun KwK43 as its main gun, which instilled fear in the Allied forces.
Initially, a turret designed by Dr. Porsche was used, but due to issues with shot traps, from the 51st unit produced onward, the turret designed by Henschel was adopted.
This Henschel turret type continued to be produced until the end of the war.
In addition to the firepower of the long-barrel 88mm gun, its defensive capabilities reached up to 180mm of frontal armor on the turret and a maximum of 150mm on the hull, making it impervious to any Allied anti-tank guns.
Although fewer than 500 King Tigers were produced by Henschel by the end of the war, those deployed on the Western and Eastern fronts demonstrated overwhelming power against the Allies.

About the Model
This model is a plastic assembly kit that recreates the feared German heavy tank, the King Tiger, at a 1/72 scale.
It features the Henschel turret and models a vehicle from the Ardennes front.
The kit is designed with a reduced number of parts, making it accessible for beginner modelers, while still providing a realistic representation of the turret, hull, and running gear once assembled.
The tracks are of a belt type, making assembly easy.
Wires and spare tracks mounted on the hull are represented as separate parts, adding to the overall three-dimensional feel of the finished model.
The turret remains capable of rotation even after assembly.
Additionally, the commander's hatch can be assembled in either open or closed positions, and one tank crew figure is included.
Markings represent a vehicle from the 501st Heavy Tank Battalion deployed in the Ardennes in December 1944.
This kit is designed for a wide range of modelers to enjoy easily.
