COBI 2808: Tiger II Königstiger

Description

The Tiger II Königstiger is a massive 1:12 scale build, and at 11,170 pieces it is clearly aimed at experienced model builders and serious collectors. It represents one of the most recognisable German tanks of World War II, with a focus on the late-war look of the real vehicle, including the three-colour camouflage and the proportions of the museum example that inspired it. This set goes far beyond a simple shell model. The tank includes a detailed interior, opening hatches, a rotating turret, a movable gun, working suspension with metal springs, rotating wheels and tracks, and a removable Maybach HL-230 engine that can also be displayed on its own stand. Printed markings replace stickers throughout, which should appeal to anyone who prefers a cleaner, more durable finish. As a display piece, it is hard to ignore. At this scale and piece count, it is a demanding build with real presence, and it is clearly designed for builders who enjoy a long, technical project as much as the finished model.
