Cobi Battle wagon VI Ausf. B King Tiger

The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II (Sd.Kfz.182) was colloquially called King Tiger, or in English "Royal Tiger"), although the translation "Bengal Tiger" was also widely accepted. It was a German heavy tank, the largest and heaviest, which was used in a battle during the Second World War. Production problems caused by the current situation of the Third Reich and constant air raids resulted in only 487 units of this vehicle being produced between January 1944 and March 1945. The Tiger II was equipped with a powerful 88 mm gun. Thick armour, heavy weight, limited mobility, unreliable engine and devastating armament are trademarks of this monstrous tank. Despite its many deficiencies, the tank was extremely dangerous for any Allied unit and rained fierce fire wherever it appeared. Its name has survived to this day and it is still a very recognizable tank in history and popular culture. Attention! Not suitable for children under 36 months.
