[Product Introduction]
TAMIYA 1/35 Military Miniature Series German Heavy Tank King Tiger (Porsche Turret).
[Early production version of the King Tiger, Porsche turret mounted version]
The King Tiger appeared as Germany's last mass-produced heavy tank in 1944, near the end of World War II. The vehicle has heavy armor of 150mm on the front and 80mm on the sides, and is equipped with an 88mm gun that has the same caliber as the Tiger I but is even stronger. It was feared by the Allied forces for its powerful destructive power, which could shoot through 152mm armor plates at a distance of 2000m, and its strong defensive capabilities. The first 50 vehicles were equipped with a turret developed by Porsche, and were characterized by their curvaceous form. -In June 1944, the Porsche turret-equipped King Tiger was the first King Tiger unit to intercept the Allied forces that landed in Normandy. This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of the King Tiger, a heavy tank of the German Army of World War II, equipped with a Porsche turret.
