B \"Königstiger,\" also known as the \"King Tiger,\" is one of the most famous German heavy tanks of World War II. The Porsche turret version was produced in limited numbers — it was initially planned for mass adoption, but due to design flaws, only about 50 tanks were built with this type of turret. Typical deployment of the vehicle included combat on both the Eastern and Western fronts in 1944–1945, where tanks with Porsche turrets took part in, among others, the Falaise Pocket and the Battle of the Ardennes. The 88mm KwK43\/3 gun was regarded as one of the most powerful anti-tank guns of its time.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProduct scale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNation of original use: Third Reich (Germany)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of use: World War II (1944–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterials: high-quality resin + metal barrel (aluminum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSet includes: detailed gun mantlet, realistic turned metal barrel for the KwK43\/3\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: upgrade set, modeling accessory for plastic models\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRecommended for Pz.Kpfw VI Tiger II models with Porsche turret (e.g., Tamiya, Dragon, Revell in 1\/35)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAssembly difficulty: 3\/5 (intended for intermediate and advanced modelers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Panzer Art GB35-052 is a set designed for modelers who expect not only historical accuracy but also maximum detail on key visual elements of the model.
