Zvezda 3601 KingTiger Ausf. B Henschel Turret (1/35)

The Zvezda 3601 KingTiger Ausf. B Henschel Turret in 1/35 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit depicting one of the most famous heavy tanks of World War II. The vehicle was designed by the Henschel company and served in the German army from 1944, participating in key battles on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, such as the Battle of the Bulge and the defense of Berlin.

This model variant represents the version with the Henschel turret, characterized by simplified, angular shapes and enhanced resistance to anti-tank fire. The King Tiger (officially Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II) was regarded as the most technologically advanced armored vehicle of the Wehrmacht, combining powerful armament — the famous KwK 43 L/71 88mm gun — with exceptionally thick, sloped armor.
