| King Tiger Porsche Turret
Tamiyas 1/48 MM Series
continues to expand, featuring a wide variety of armored vehicles from
the militaries of Germany, USA, UK and the Soviet Union. Following on
our recent release of the 1/48 scale German King Tiger featuring
Henschel production turret, we proudly announce the Porsche turret
version of the King Tiger. This distinctively shaped tank is a big hit
in 1/35, and promises just as much satisfaction in 1/48 scale.
About the King
Tiger Porsche Turret
Appearing in 1944, the King Tiger was Germanys final production model
heavy tank. The tank featured armor of 100mm thickness on front and
80mm on sides, and it mounted the same 88mm high velocity main gun as
seen on the Tiger I. The ability to penetrate 152mm thick armor plate
from a distance of 2,000 meters, coupled with strong defensive
capability made the King Tiger a truly formidable foe. The first 50
tanks produced featured turrets developed by the Porsche company, which
featured distinctive rounded contours. The Porsche turret versions of
the King Tiger first saw action at Normandy in June, 1944, where they
put their awesome firepower to use by attempting to repel the invading
Allies.
