The Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger Porsche Turret (35169) reproduces the King Tiger (Tiger II) in its early production form with the distinctive Porsche-designed turret — the curved, rounded turret that was fitted to the first 50 production vehicles before the angular Henschel (production) turret replaced it. The Porsche turret's rounded mantlet and distinctive shape make it immediately recognisable and is the preferred variant for many collectors precisely because of its unusual appearance.
Tamiya's detailed 1/35 kit captures the Porsche turret King Tiger's formidable 8.8cm KwK 43 L/71 gun and early production hull details with characteristic accuracy.
