The chassis front armour was 150mm thick with 80mm thick side armour and powered by a 700hp Maybach HL230-P30 engine. The Henschel and Porsche companies came up with rival turret prototypes. The first fifty tanks produced had Porsche turret whereas subsequent tanks were equipped with the Henschel-designed production turret that featured many improvements over the first model. The King Tiger was armed with a 71-calibre 88mm gun that had enough power to pierce 150mm thick armour from 2,000m away. Between the beginning of production in Summer 1944 and March 1945, 440 units were completed. Due to the havoc wreaked by the King Tiger during the final German offensive on the Ardennes front in December of 1944, the Allied forces that moved in on Berlin would fear the King Tiger up until the very last day of the war.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/16 R\/C German Heavy Tank King Tiger assembly kit.
