1/35 GERMAN KING TIGER "PORSCHE TURRET"


    Length: 296mm. Image shows assembled and painted kit.

    A Tough Nut to Crack

    The King Tiger was the final mass produced German tank of WWII, coming
    as it did in 1944. With armor 150mm thick on the front and 80mm on the
    sides, its hull was a tough nut to crack, while firepower was provided
    by a new, upgraded version of the 88mm main gun: as a result, it could
    tear through enemy armor of 152mm from up to two kilometers, and its
    survivability was a real concern for Allied armor. The first fifty King
    Tigers were fitted with a turret designed by Porsche, noted for its
    rounded design; they joined the first King Tiger unit in June 1944 which
    fought back against the Allies who landed in Normandy.
