Trumpeter 1/72 Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger (Porsche Turret) Scale Model

The Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger, commonly called the Tiger II, combined heavy armament with thick armor during World War II. This 1/72 scale kit from Trumpeter reproduces the Porsche-style turret and overall profile with attention to the tank's battlefield presence for model builders and history fans.

Background and Why This Kit Matters

Developed as an evolution of the Tiger I from design work started in 1942, the King Tiger was fitted with a long 88mm gun and heavy frontal protection. Its robust armor and armament made it a standout of late-war German armored forces, and the kit gives a compact chance to recreate that historic vehicle.
