Trumpeter 07291 King Tiger (H) with Zimmerit 1:72 Scale WWII Kit  [TP07291]

Trumpeter 1:72 King Tiger (H) with Zimmerit - Compact Tribute to a Heavy Tank

The German Sd.Kfz. 182 King Tiger, fitted with the Henschel turret and Zimmerit coating, remains one of the most recognised WWII heavy tanks. Known as the Pz.kpfw VI Tiger II Ausf. B, its blend of heavy armour and the long 88mm gun made it a dominant battlefield presence. The Trumpeter 07291 1:72 kit captures this heritage in a small but detailed scale, ideal for collectors and display builders.

Background and modelling notes

Introduced late in the conflict, the King Tiger was intended to supersede the Tiger I with thicker armour and superior firepower. This model highlights those design cues while keeping the build manageable at 1:72 scale. Model makers can study the tank's silhouette and turret profile without committing to a large display footprint.

Assembly and display notes

The kit contains 103 plastic parts spread across eight sprues, providing a purposeful assembly challenge that rewards careful trimming and fit. The moulded Zimmerit texture and period decal sheet add authenticity, and once finished this model sits neatly on a shelf or in a diorama as a concise representation of late war German armour.
