Review: Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger - Tamiya never fail to satisfy 100%. This is an excellent kit, superbly detailed parts that were easy to assemble although the spare track brackets were very fiddly. Having recently made models by other manufacturers I can confidently say that Tamiya quality is unmatchable.
Review: Konigs Tiger 1:35 scale - I bought Tamiya Konigs Tiger Tank 1:35 scale from desertcart. And my experience was a good one I have to say, Tamiya did supply longer tank tracks for this model. As on past models I have the links to slightly to short. The instructions were good and clear. The trickiest bit for this build was at the beginning wrestling with the tank track after that fight was won it was plain sailing. Tamiya didn't supply a machine with my model, but I recommend the hop pack from Tamiya witch I used to proved and MP40 machine gun. also recommend the German solider packs as these add to the finished model. I used a KKmoon airbrush and Tamiya XF paint range. Don't let the price put you off this Great model which is worth building. Note the diorama above shows a Konigs Tiger Tank 1:35 scale.

## Features

- Tamiya branded ready-to-assemble plastic precision static model kit. It is supplied unpainted and is ideal for model makers and painters!
- Required to complete: cement, paint and finishing supplies.
- This is a 1/35 scale plastic assembly kit of the German King Tiger Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger II. The King Tiger made its debut in 1944, toward the end of World War II, and proved a fearsome foe to the Allies, with 150mm and 80mm armour on the hull front and sides respectively, and a powerful 700hp Maybach HL230-P30 engine. The first fifty had a Porsche-designed turret, but thereafter mass-produced King Tigers had an updated turret designed by Henschel. The L/71 88mm gun was upgraded from the Tiger I, and could defeat 170mm of armour from a kilometre away. Some 430 of these King Tigers were produced until the end of the run in March 1945, proving a constant threat to the end.
- Ideal for model builders and hobbyists to recreate the iconic mid-production version of the German World War II tank. A handy booklet with build instructions is included within the box.
