Trumpeter 07201 1/72 Sd.Kfz. 182 King Tiger Henschel Turret

The Sd.Kfz. 182 King Tiger made a strong impression on the battlefields of World War II due to its heavy armour and 88mm gun. This Trumpeter 07201 1/72 kit recreates that presence in miniature, offering fine surface detail and authentic lines for scale enthusiasts. The assembly is designed to give hobbyists a satisfying build that reflects the vehicle's historic character.

Historical Background and Modelling Interest

Developed as an advance over the Tiger I, the King Tiger combined thicker armour and greater firepower. The Henschel turret version represented here appears on many late-war photos and is faithfully modelled in this kit. Collectors and builders will appreciate the opportunity to study late-war German armoured design through accurate kit components.

Construction Notes and Fit

The kit is supplied as 101 grey plastic parts plus two track pieces across four sprues, giving a total parts count that supports accurate hull and turret profiles. Clean-up and careful gluing will reward builders with crisp panel lines and believable proportions. The model suits those who enjoy precise fitting and painting work.

The decals provided depict a sand, green and brown camouflage typical of German units, giving a standard late-war finish option.
Most of the 101 plastic parts will need some light trimming and sanding at attachment points; attention to small details on the hull and turret improves the final fit.
At 1/72 scale, the kit is complete for display, but modellers seeking extra realism can add photo-etch or metal barrels if they prefer finer detail.
