Historical Background
The Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger (or Tiger II) entered service in 1944, aiming to provide the German Wehrmacht with a decisive heavy tank in the final phases of WWII. Combining formidable frontal armor with the potent 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun, it was designed to dominate Allied armor. Yet, the complexity of its machinery and strain on wartime resources limited its operational numbers. Even so, the King Tiger’s engineering innovations left a strong legacy, captivating historians and modelers alike for decades. By adding these photo-etched parts to your Meng kit, you embrace the King Tiger’s blend of power and precision, capturing the essence of Germany’s late-war engineering prowess.
