Description: Dragon Models 1:72 Armor Collector Series 60400 Henschel/Porsche Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Display Model German Army sPzAbt 509, Hungary, 1945 1:72 Scale Length WidthHenschel/Porsche Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger 5.75" 2" The King Tiger, Germany's most formidable Heavy Tank, made its first appearance on the WWII theater in 1944. The first 50 tanks produced had Porsche turrets whereas subsequent tanks were equipped with the Henschel designed production turret. The King Tiger was armed with a 71-caliber 88mm gun that had enough power to penetrate 150mm thick armor from 2000m away. For protection, the chassis front armor was 150mm thick with 80mm thick side armor. Henschel/Porsche Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Officially designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Sd.Kfz 182, the King Tiger entered service in 1944. This tank carried the awesome tank-killing 88mm main gun and had four-inch armor at its thickest. The system was crewed by five personnel and two machine guns were added for self-defense. The King Tiger's ability to destroy enemy tanks at extreme ranges yet remain impervious to those same tanks made it more than a match for any Allied tank. The sight of a King Tiger on the battlefield was terrifying and did great morale damage to Allied forces. Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
