Why this kit matters
The King Tiger, also known as the Tiger II, was a German heavy tank used during the later stages of World War II. It was one of the most heavily armoured tanks of the war, and its powerful 88mm gun could destroy most Allied tanks at long range. The King Tiger represented the pinnacle of German tank design, but its complexity and high production costs limited its impact on the war.
This model kit allows you to recreate a piece of WWII military history. Building this kit provides an engaging and educational experience, perfect for understanding the design and role of heavy tanks in WWII. The completed model serves as a tribute to the engineers and soldiers who were involved with this iconic tank.
