Cyber Hobby 7511 Sd.Kfz.182 Kingtiger Henschel Turret (1/72) – 1:72 Scale Tank Model

Cyber Hobby 7511 Sd.Kfz.182 Kingtiger Henschel Turret is a unique plastic model kit depicting one of the most recognizable heavy tanks of World War II – the German Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B, better known as the Sd.Kfz.182 Tiger II or King Tiger with the Henschel turret. This impressive 1:72 scale model accurately reflects the most characteristic features of this formidable armored vehicle used by the German army at the end of World War II.

Historical Model – The King of Armor in World War II

The Tiger II entered service with the Wehrmacht in 1944 and was used until the last battles in 1945, participating in, among others, the Battle of the Bulge and the defense of Berlin. It was a technological masterpiece on the battlefield – featuring frontal armor up to 150 mm thick and the powerful KwK 43 88 mm gun. The Henschel turret version differed in its simplified design and improved armor sloping. Despite its immense firepower and effectiveness, the King Tiger faced technical issues and complex logistics, which limited the number produced.
