Why this kit matters
The King Tiger, or Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B, was a German heavy tank used during the later stages of World War II. It was one of the most powerful tanks of the war, combining thick armour with a high-velocity 88mm gun.
The "Porsche Turret" was an early production version of the King Tiger's turret, designed by Porsche. It was later replaced by a Henschel-designed turret. Zimmerit was a paste-like coating used on German armoured vehicles to prevent magnetic mines from attaching to the hull.
