The King Tiger was the most powerful production tank of World War II — a 68-ton steel fortress armed with the devastating 88mm KwK 43 gun that could defeat any Allied armor at combat range. This Tamiya 1/35 kit depicts the early-production variant fitted with the distinctive Porsche turret, recognizable by its curved, rounded profile that sets it apart from the later Henschel design. At 296mm long when complete, it's an imposing presence on any shelf or diorama base.
Four marking options give you flexibility to model specific units and theaters, while the included commander figure adds life to the finished build. Hatch options for the commander, loader, driver, and engine deck let you customize the pose, and the belt-type tracks keep assembly manageable without sacrificing the look of a heavily armored beast on the move.
