Dragon 7231 Sd.Kfz.182 Kingtiger Porsche Turret 1/72 – plastic model kit

The Dragon 7231 Sd.Kfz.182 Kingtiger Porsche Turret in 1/72 scale is a faithfully reproduced plastic model of the German heavy tank Kingtiger (Tiger II) featuring the characteristic Porsche-type turret.

The Sd.Kfz. 182 Kingtiger was an armored giant designed by the Third Reich, used by the German army during World War II from 1944 to 1945. This powerful tank appeared on battlefields at, among others, Caen in Normandy, in the Ardennes, and during fighting on the Eastern Front, where its 88mm KwK 43 L/71 gun quickly gained fame as one of the most effective anti-tank weapons of the conflict. The version with the Porsche turret is relatively rare—only around 50 Kingtigers were equipped with this type of turret, recognized by its distinctively rounded sides.

The model offered by Dragon is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring both precision in details and structural durability. The kit includes sprues allowing accurate reconstruction of features specific to the Porsche turret, a realistic suspension system, detailed armor surfaces, and turret. The set also provides plastic tracks, decals with German markings, and a clear assembly instruction.
