Amazing detail, Tamiya at their best

By: BlucherFamily (Overland Park, KS)

This is a big kit with a lot of detail. Truly Tamiya at their finest. Even some interior detal, not much, just the gun breach, and seats in the turret, but that is a nice touch. Sprues are free of over flash and parts come of the cleanly with minimal cleanup required. The build is smooth, with parts fitting nicely together, and clear instructions. A great representation of the absolute King of tanks produced during WWII.

all can build

By: Justen Oldtool (Oxford Mich)

My middle school boy did a very nice job of building this. I have recently put an historically phenomenal camo job on this beast. Our Tiger is the best and i will tolerate no other opinion

King Tiger!

By: JTeague1980 (Columbus, GA)

I had an excellent time building this kit. No surprises or headaches during assembly. Typical Tamiya quality, only a few panels needed gap filling and those were mostly hidden from sight anyway. If you're looking for a quality yet fun King Tiger this is a fantastic start!
