Tamiya 32539 - 1/48 King Tiger Porsche Turret  [32539]

German King Tiger "Porsche Turret"

Stunning Form Packs a Deadly Punch

Appearing in 1944, the King Tiger ended up being Germany's final production model heavy tank. The tank showcased armor of 100mm depth on front and 80mm on edges, therefore mounted exactly the same 88mm high velocity main weapon as seen in the Tiger I. The capability to penetrate 152mm dense armor plate from a distance of 2,000 meters, coupled with strong protective capability made the King Tiger a truly solid foe. Initial 50 tanks produced featured turrets manufactured by the Porsche company, which showcased distinctive rounded contours. The Porsche turret variations of the King Tiger first saw action at Normandy in June, 1944, where they place their awesome firepower to make use of by wanting to repel the invading Allies.
