Dragon 6189 Sd. Kfz. 182 King Tiger (Porsche Turret) in 1/35 scale is an extremely detailed plastic model kit of one of the most recognizable tanks of World War II. This model from the renowned manufacturer Dragon offers a faithful replica of the German heavy tank Tiger II with the so-called Porsche turret, which was the first production version of this vehicle.

Historical Background:

The Sd. Kfz. 182 King Tiger with the Porsche turret was used by German forces (the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS) during the final years of World War II, from 1944 until the capitulation of the Third Reich in 1945. The tank stood out not only for its formidable armor (up to 150 mm at the front) and highly effective 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 gun, but also for its distinctive semi-rounded turret designed by Porsche. Despite its impressive combat parameters, the version with the Porsche turret was produced only in small numbers and was mainly used in battles in Normandy and on the Eastern Front.
