Dragon 6232 Kingtiger Late Production w/New Pattern Track Ardennes 1944 is a highly detailed plastic model kit in the popular 1/35 scale. It represents a late production version of the famous German heavy tank Tiger II, better known as the Kingtiger, featuring the new style tracks suitable for the front conditions of the Ardennes Offensive at the end of 1944.

Historical Information

The King Tiger was one of the most technologically advanced and heavily armored tanks fielded by the Third Reich during World War II. It was fitted with a powerful 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun and thick armor, which made it a formidable opponent for Allied armored forces. The variant depicted by this model—Late Production—featured a new type of drive sprocket and tracks with a modified, reinforced pattern.

Kingtigers equipped in this way were used by heavy tank battalions of the SS and Wehrmacht during the Battle of the Ardennes (Ardennes 1944), one of the last major German offensives on the Western Front, which took place in December 1944.
