Italeri 7004 1/72 King Tiger - Scale recreation of a WWII heavy tank

The Italeri 1/72 King Tiger model kit gives modellers a chance to assemble a faithful replica of one of WWII's most imposing tanks. Famous for its long 88mm gun and thick frontal armour, the King Tiger combined firepower with heavy protection. Its complex running gear and maintenance-prone powertrain make it an interesting subject for builders who enjoy technical accuracy and authentic detail.

Battlefield role and historical notes

Designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B, the King Tiger represented peak German heavy tank design late in the war. Its 88mm armament let crews engage enemy armour at long ranges, though mechanical reliability and logistical demands limited operational use. The tank's history makes it a compelling subject for scale modelling and military history projects.

Is the Italeri 7004 King Tiger suitable for someone new to modelling?

The kit has fine parts and some intricate sections, so beginners can build it but should expect to work slowly and use basic modelling tools like tweezers, fine files and plastic cement. Practice on simpler kits first if you are new to small-scale armour.

What paints and brushes work best for this 1/72 model?

Acrylic or enamel model paints both work well. Use a fine brush for detail and an airbrush for base coats if available. Choose historically accurate colours and thin your paint for even coverage on small plastic parts.

Can I display the finished model with a diorama base?

Yes. The 1/72 scale is ideal for compact dioramas. Consider adding simple groundwork, spare track links or a small figure to convey scale and context without overwhelming the model.
