The ICM 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B King Tiger with Henschel Turret (Late Production) – 35363 delivers a highly accurate and finely engineered model of Germany’s most powerful operational tank of WWII. The King Tiger, or Königstiger, combined massive armor protection with the devastating 88mm KwK 43 L/71 gun, making it one of the most feared armored vehicles of the war.
This kit represents the late‑production Henschel‑turret variant, the most widely produced and battlefield‑proven configuration. These tanks fought in the final, desperate months of the war on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, including the Battle of the Bulge, the defense of the Reich, and the brutal fighting in Hungary and Austria.
Historical Background
The King Tiger was the pinnacle of German heavy‑tank engineering.
Key historical notes:
Entered service in mid‑1944, replacing the earlier Tiger I
Featured the Henschel turret, with sloped armor and improved internal layout
Armor thickness reached 180mm on the front glacis, making it nearly impervious to Allied guns
The 88mm KwK 43 L/71 was one of the most powerful tank guns of WWII, capable of defeating any Allied tank at long range
Saw major action in the Battle of the Bulge, Eastern Front 1944–45, and the defense of Berlin
Despite its power, the tank suffered from fuel shortages, mechanical strain, and overwhelming Allied numbers
The late‑production King Tiger is one of the most iconic armored vehicles in history, making it a favorite subject for modelers.
