Zvezda 5023 King Tiger Ausf.B model in 1:72 scale is a precisely detailed plastic assembly kit representing one of the most famous and powerful heavy tanks of World War II. The German Königstiger, officially known as Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf.B Tiger II, entered service with the Wehrmacht in 1944 and was used mainly on the Eastern and Western fronts until the end of the war. Its distinctive features included extremely thick frontal armor plates (up to 185 mm) and the KwK 43 L/71 88 mm gun, capable of destroying all Allied tanks at great distances.

The King Tiger Ausf.B model by Zvezda was created based on authentic documents and archival photographs to faithfully reproduce the details of this legendary vehicle. The box contains high-quality hard plastic sprues, precisely rendered details of the Porsche turret, and the broad hull with sloped armor plates. Every line, hatch, periscope, or suspension element has been recreated with great attention to historical accuracy.
