Forces of Valor 80077 1:32 GERMAN KING TIGER (PORSCHE TURRET)

The King Tiger also known as the Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WWII. The official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd. Kfz. 182.  It is also known under the informal name Königstiger  translated as King Tiger.

The design followed the same concept as the Tiger I, but was intended to be even more formidable. The Tiger II combined the thick armour of the Tiger I with the sloped armour used on the Panther medium tank. The tank weighed almost seventy metric tons, was protected by 100 to 180 mm (3.9 to 7.1 in) of armour to the front, and was armed with the long barrelled 8.8 cm Kampfwagenkanone 43 L/71 gun. The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger turretless tank destroyer.

The Forces of Valor® King Tiger is produced in both die cast metal and plastic. The tracks roll includes a commander. This replica is of a King Tiger was deployed in France at Normandy in 1944.
