Das Werk DW35013 PzKpfwg. VI Ausf.B Tiger II Sd.Kfz.182 - s.Pz.Abt.505 1/35

Das Werk DW35013 PzKpfwg. VI Ausf.B Tiger II Sd.Kfz.182 - s.Pz.Abt.505 1/35 is an extremely detailed plastic scale model kit depicting the most powerful tank of World War II – the German King Tiger (Königstiger) in the variant used by the 505th Heavy Tank Battalion (schwere Panzer-Abteilung 505). The model is made in the popular 1/35 scale and has been designed with great attention to detail, including very faithfully reproduced Zimmerit factory applied to the hull and turret. This means that once assembled, the model boasts an exceptionally realistic appearance, and the modeller does not have to apply the Zimmerit texture themselves, which is often a challenging task.

Tiger II, or PzKpfw VI Ausf. B, was a tank produced by Nazi Germany from 1944 to 1945 and fought on all fronts of World War II, primarily on the Eastern Front against the Red Army and during the battles in Normandy and the Ardennes. The tanks assigned to s.Pz.Abt.505 were distinguished by unique sewn-on knight’s shields – unit crests in red, green, or yellow, depending on the company.

The Das Werk DW35013 model offers:

• 1/35 scale, ensuring a very high level of detail and accurate historical dimensions,
