FORCES OF VALOR - German King Tiger Holland 1944, 1:72 85401

While the Tiger I was a very powerful tank, the German Army's pursuit of even greater firepower lead to the development of a second generation Tiger, one with a 88MM cannon, 150MM thick front armor, and 80MM side armor. This new Tiger would be forever known as the King Tiger.

Henschel/Porsche Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger

Officially designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Sd.Kfz 182, the King Tiger entered service in 1944. This tank carried the awesome tank-killing 88mm main gun and had four-inch armor at its thickest. The system was crewed by five personnel and two machine guns were added for self-defense. The King Tiger's ability to destroy enemy tanks at extreme ranges yet remain impervious to those same tanks made it more than a match for any Allied tank. The sight of a King Tiger on the battlefield was terrifying and did great morale damage to Allied forces.
