Hobby Boss 84532 Pz.Kpfw.VI Sd.Kfz.182 Tiger II (Henschel Feb-1945 Production) 1/35

The Hobby Boss 84532 plastic model kit represents the legendary German heavy tank Pz.Kpfw. VI Sd.Kfz.182 Tiger II, also known as Königstiger or King Tiger, in the Henschel turret version from February 1945. The 1/35 scale allows for the preservation of many historical details, making this set a faithful reproduction of a vehicle that was used by the German army at the end of World War II.

Historical Description

The Pz.Kpfw.VI Tiger II is the heaviest tank ever mass-produced by Germany during World War II. It entered the frontlines in 1944 and fought on both the Eastern and Western fronts, including during the Battle of the Bulge and the defense of Berlin. It was characterized by thick, well-sloped armor and a powerful 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun, which allowed it to destroy most Allied vehicles at long ranges. Production of the Henschel version, distinguished by its simplified and more functional turret, began in mid-1944, with the February 1945 units featuring details typical of late production, such as simplified mountings, a modified hull, and new equipment elements.
