The Tiger II was one of the most technically advanced tanks of World War II. Its frontal armor, up to 150 mm thick, and 8.8 cm KwK 43 gun made it an extremely formidable opponent for Allied armored forces—especially effective during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. It was at that time that units such as the 1st SS Panzer Division “Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler” and the Panzer-Lehr-Division used King Tigers as the core of their attacking force.

The Rye Field Model 5137 kit allows you to accurately recreate this machine from the winter campaign, making it possible to build realistic battle dioramas and display collections devoted to the final phase of World War II (years 1944–1945). Thanks to its well-designed parts, the set is suitable for intermediate modelers seeking a satisfying project to further develop their skills, while not overwhelming them with excessive advanced extras.

We highly recommend this kit to enthusiasts of German armored vehicles and historians recreating the period of armored operations on the Western Front. It is also an excellent base for modelers building winter dioramas or collecting iconic World War II vehicles.
