Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger with Porsche Turret and 2T Crane

Build a distinctive German WWII armour subject with this Rye Field Models Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger kit. Produced in 1/35 scale, the model represents the Porsche turret version fitted with a 2T makeshift crane and includes workable tracks, alternative gun barrels and several fine-detail components.

The combination of the imposing King Tiger form and its makeshift crane gives this release a clear visual identity. It is well suited to a focused standalone display or a larger scene centred on the vehicle and its specialised equipment.

Kit Overview

Rye Field Models kit RM-5164 recreates the Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger with Porsche turret. The included 2T makeshift crane adds an unusual structural element to the model, creating extra interest around the turret and upper surfaces.

The 1/35 scale allows the completed model to sit naturally alongside suitable figures, vehicles and scenic subjects. It can also complement other German WWII subjects from the 1/35 vehicles range.
