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.

Build Details and Kit Experience

This Trumpeter kit focuses on plastic parts for a clean assembly process and display quality. It contains 105 plastic components and finishes at 143mm long, offering a satisfying build without metal or resin additions. The pieces are laid out across eight sprues for straightforward construction and painting.

Beginner builders with basic modelling tools and some patience should manage this kit; the plastic parts and clear sprue layout make the assembly process approachable.
Use acrylic or enamel model paints with thin coats and reference period camouflage palettes. Pre-shading and washes help bring out panel lines and surface detail.
Not required for a faithful display; the kit provides the core detail. Builders who want extra realism can add aftermarket metal barrels or photo-etched parts, but the plastic kit stands well on its own.
