Pz.Kpfw VI. B Tiger II (Porsche) in 1/72 scale

 

Used kit: 1/72 Tiger II (Henschel) by ESCI
Accessories: 1/72 resin Porsche turret by TP Model

This model of Tigeru II was born as conversion of plastic kit by kit and resin turret mentioned above. I shaped the resin turret to be hollow and added new command’s hatch as well as Pak 43 gun from original ESCI kit. I scratchbuilt complete interior of the hull including complete engine, torsion-bar springs, gearbox, seats, floor, radio-set, ammo atc. as well as the turret including seats, gunlock, MG atc. All upper part of my model can be simply taken off to show all interior. My tank is covered with antimagnetic paste made of two-part putty.

The model represents vehicle that fought against Allies in Normandy in summer 1944. It took me about 100 hours to complete this model.
