Academy 13229 - 1/35 German King Tiger 'Last Production' Scale Summary

The Academy 1/35 German King Tiger 'Last Production' kit gives a precise representation of one of World War II's heaviest tanks. Renowned for its thick armor and powerful 88mm gun, the King Tiger dominated many late-war engagements. This model focuses on the final production features and is aimed at hobbyists who value historical detail and accurate assembly.

Development Background and Model Appeal

The 'Last Production' marks refinements made in the final manufacturing runs. Builders get the chance to recreate a historically significant vehicle using parts that reflect those late-war design choices.

Assembly Experience

Academy has crafted this kit with intermediate and experienced modellers in mind. Expect careful alignment work on suspension units and turret fittings, plus small parts that demand steady handling. When completed, the model presents a detailed display piece that rewards patience and precision.
