The Tiger, aka the Panzerkampfwagen is one of the most formidable weapons of World War II. Produced by Germany, production of the Tiger ran from 1942 to 1944. The Tiger was a very heavy tank and what it lost in mobility was more than made up by the superior firepower and armor protection it provided. Tamiya spared no detail on their reproduction, called the Tamiya King Tiger. The King Tiger tank has a full range of motion and you can even raise the turret up and down. The firing of the cannon is so powerful it even causes the tank to recoil! To add to the authenticity of the model, Tamiya tracked down the only real-life working model in the world, currently housed at a museum and recorded the engine sounds which were added to the Tamiya King Tiger.
