About the King Tiger
Weighing 69.8 tons, Germany’s King Tiger tank entered production in mid-1944.
It was an impressive vehicle, and being the final tank design to enter production
during WWII, it could be seen as the pinnacle of German tank design. The King
Tiger was armed with an 8.8cm KwK 43 L/71 gun and its frontal armor was up to
180mm thick. Such a formidable fighting machine had weaknesses though, since
its heavy bulk and underpowered engine meant it wasn’t as mobile as it should
have been. Dragon Armor has launched its second fantastic fully built-up 1/35
scale model of a Tiger II. This Henschel production version of the King Tiger
is based on a tank from 3./s.PzAbt 506 that fought on the Eastern Front in 1945.
Dragon’s 1/35 scale tank is distinctive with a full coat of zimmerit on the
hull and turret. This copy of the original antimagnetic mine paste has been
carefully and realistically crafted and textured to scale. The camouflage scheme
feature red-brown stripes over a yellow base, along with tactical markings painted
over the zimmerit in a most realistic manner. The designers and craftsmen responsible
for this masterpiece have provided everything necessary to produce an accurate
model. It even features delicately detailed engine mesh screens made from photo-etched
metal. This King Tiger, a real striped big cat, is ready to spring into action!
