Historical Context:
The Tiger II, also known as the Königstiger (King Tiger), was one of the most powerful German heavy tanks used during World War II. The Henschel version differed, among other things, in hull and turret shape compared to the earlier Porsche variant. Tiger II tanks were introduced to units from mid-1944 and saw combat in the Battle of the Bulge, on the Eastern Front, and in the defense of Germany until the end of the war. The German army highly valued the King Tiger for its strong armor and the powerful 88 mm KwK 43 gun, although its weight and unit cost were very high.

The set does not contain plastic or resin parts—it is designed strictly to upgrade plastic models, delivering the highest level of detail.
