Takom: 1/35 King Tiger Sd.Kfz. 182 Porsche Turret w/105mm KwK 46 L/68 2 in 1– Model Kit
This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
The Tiger II was the common name for the German 70-tonne World War II heavy tank, Tank VI, which was called the “King Tiger” by the American troops who saw it on the Normandy front.
In 1944, Krupp submitted a proposal to retrofit the King Tiger with a 105 mm kwk46 L/68 gun as a firepower enhancement.
However, the project was cancelled after only line drawings were drawn when it was pointed out that mounting a 105 mm gun in the King Tiger's turret would require enlarging the turret for loading operations and modifications to the turret ring and undercarriage were necessary.
Includes:
- Main hatches can be opened or closed.
- Etched and clear parts
- Three types of markings
- Crawler is link-and-length type
- Metal barrel
Please note: This item shown is a prototype. When shipped, the final production piece may differ in appearance.
