This edition is inspired by the fighting of Operation Goodwood in Normandy in 1944, and reproduces a vehicle equipped with the so-called Porsche turret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tiger II was one of the German heavy armoured vehicles deployed during the final period of World War II. Its imposing silhouette, angled armour plating, and 8.8 cm gun make it a major subject for enthusiasts of German military vehicles and dioramas devoted to the Battle of Normandy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis MENG reference offers a highly detailed reproduction including interior, a mobile suspension, and articulated tracks using metal axles. The kit also includes a metal gun barrel, photo-etched parts, and 3D-printed components intended in particular for damaged side protections. The Zimmerit textures are provided in the form of dedicated decals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3D-printed crew figures accompany the set. Hatches can be installed open or closed, while the main gun is able to be aimed in elevation. Two decorations for the schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503 are included to depict this King Tiger in the context of Operation Goodwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly requires the usual products for static model making: plastic glue, cutting and deburring tools, paints, brushes or an airbrush. Primer helps prepare the different materials before painting, especially the plastic, metal, photo-etched, and 3D-printed parts. Weathering, dust effects, and treatment of damaged areas then help enhance the vehicle’s operational character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the \u003cstrong\u003e1\/35\u003c\/strong\u003e scale, each dimension of the real vehicle is reduced by a factor of 35. This scale is particularly suited to staging with figures, terrain elements, and other military vehicles from the same period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand :\u003c\/strong\u003e MENG-Model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference :\u003c\/strong\u003e ES-011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic model kit of an assembly military vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject :\u003c\/strong\u003e German Heavy Tank Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger, Operation Goodwood 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale :\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersion depicted :\u003c\/strong\u003e Tiger II with Porsche turret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded items :\u003c\/strong\u003e detailed interior, metal gun barrel, photo-etch, Zimmerit decals, 3D-printed parts, and crew figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecals :\u003c\/strong\u003e two options from the schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Glow2B","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56996271554946,"sku":"302760","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1957\/1093\/files\/914638.jpg?v=1793623684","url":"https:\/\/tankmuseumshop.org\/products\/meng-1-35-german-heavy-tank-sd-kfz-182-king-tiger-operation-goodwood-1944","provider":"The Tank Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
