Description

Hobby Boss 84532 1/35 Scale German King Tiger Heavy Tank Henschel Turret February Kit At the beginning of October 1942, a development plan for the VK 45.03 was released, and two companies provided their own designs, one was Henschel and the other was Porsche. Both use turret designs from Krupp, the main differences being the hull, drivetrain and suspension.
Henschel's version used a conventional hull design with a sloping armor arrangement similar to the Panther tank. The engine is rear-mounted, similar to the "Tiger" I tank, with nine staggered road wheels on each side, mounted on transverse torsion bars. To simplify logistical maintenance, the wheels are overlapped in the same way as the "Tiger" I tank.
Henschel eventually won the contract, and all the King Tiger tanks were produced by the company. The vehicle has two turret designs. The turrets of the early models were often referred to as "Porsche turrets" because they were first installed on Porsche's concept prototypes. In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. This turret is only one of the two types of turrets originally designed by Krupp. The front of the turret is arc-shaped, and the sides of the turret are relatively inclined. In order to install the conning tower, the left side of the turret has a A curved bulge, which made production very difficult, fifty cars were fitted with such turrets on the hulls produced by Henschel. Later more common "production" turrets, sometimes referred to as "Henschel" turrets, had a flat front with no supplemental openings for the shell (as was used on earlier curved turrets), and a less inclined turret could be To accommodate the commander's conning tower, the edge no longer needs to be raised.
The crawler system used in the "Tiger King" chassis is quite unique. The track shoes with induced teeth and the track shoes without induced teeth are used alternately (that is, the design of "one male and one female") when the track grip is insufficient. Sometimes, anti-skid teeth can also be used.
The King Tiger tank arrived late in the war and was only produced in small numbers, and like other German tanks, it used a gasoline engine. However, the same engine installed on the lighter "Panther" and "Tiger" I tanks is barely enough power, and it is indeed a little powerless to use it on the "King Tiger", which is somewhat different from other heavy tanks in World War II. Similar, and its high fuel consumption results in short mileage.
