Tamiya 25144 German King Tiger with Amber Photo Etched
The King Tiger heavy tank was introduced in 1944 during the latter stages of WWII. The first 50 examples were equipped with a turret designed by Porsche while mass produced tanks featured an improved turret designed by Henschel. The tank was armed with a powerful L/71 88mm gun and protected by 150mm frontal and 80mm side armor. Many of these formidable tanks were involved in the German offensive through the Ardennes in December 1944. As for the DKW NZ350, this motorcycle was produced from 1940 and late-war versions featured a smaller headlight as well as thinner fenders.
