A model of the Tiger II (King Tiger) from COBI – one of the most powerful combat vehicles of the Second World War.

The Tiger II, also known as the “King Tiger”, is one of the most recognisable symbols of the Second World War and can now become part of your collection!

The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II, which entered service in 1944, was one of the most powerful machines of the Second World War. Its massive construction with up to 180 mm armour at the front and a powerful 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 cannon made it extremely effective in combat. With its 700 hp Maybach HL230 engine, the tank reached a road speed of 38 km/h.

Despite its impressive combat performance, the Tiger II suffered from technical problems, including engine and chassis defects, which limited its effectiveness on the battlefield. A total of around 492 examples of this tank were produced, which took part in many important battles, such as the Battle of the Bulge and the fighting on the Eastern Front.

The model, made from 500 accurately fitting building blocks, reproduces all the characteristic features of this heavy German tank, which was one of the most powerful combat vehicles of its time.
