PzKpfw. VI Ausf. B Tiger II #6
The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung B Tiger II, scale: 1:24.
Size: 44,1×16,5×15,4 cm
piece count: 2372
Starting production in 1943 the Tiger II was armed with one of the most powerful tank guns of the war, the 8,8cm KwK 43 L/71. Also featured with a great amount of armor for its time, the Tiger II is to this day one of the heaviest tanks of all time with 69 tonnes. Even the modern Leopard 2 A7V weights only ~65 tonnes, making the Tiger II even heavier but because of lack of modern composit armor, why less protected.
The heavy weight was also its biggest problem. Using the same Maybach HL230 engine with 700 HP, the Tiger II was a very slow vehicle having ptoblems in difficult terrain.
