Tankzone Project King Tiger
(Porsche)
TankZone
is provided for tank enthusiasts by tank enthusiasts. We only supply tanks that
we run ourselves. We are currently converting this 1:16 Porsche-turreted King
Tiger tank with the Tamiya MF-1 multi-function pack to give it the same functions
as the Tiger 1 and M4 Sherman.

This 1:16 scale King Tiger is already in running order with the optional rotation
unit installed. Much of the details are still missing. The chasis and running
gear has been sprayed dark green and the superstructure a coat of factory-fresh
dark yellow. It will eventually be spray-camouflaged to depict an early model
deployed during the aftermath of D-Day. | Watch
