Dragon Armor King Tiger Tank #111, France, 1944, (Henschel Turret)

REF: 60049 Scale 1:72 Length 101mm Width 51mm

An amazing die-cast replica King Tiger with a Henschel turret of the sPzAbt 101 in France in 1944. The King Tiger, Germany's most formidable Heavy Tank, made its first appearance on the WWII theatre in 1944. The first 50 tanks produced had Porsche turrets whereas subsequent tanks were equipped with the Henschel designed production turret. The King Tiger was armed with a 71-caliber 88mm gun that had enough power to penetrate 150mm thick armour from 2000m away. For protection, the chassis front armour was 150mm thick with 80mm thick side armour.

Features include:

  • Rotating turret, elevating cannon and accurate hull.
  • Painted, fitted, non-moving tracks on detailed non-rotating wheels.
  • Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
  • Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
  • Quality acrylic display case
