Description	A model of the Sd.Kfz.181 Kingtiger Henschel tank

A mock-up of the brand Cyber-Hobby The model: "Sd.Kfz.181 Kingtiger Henschel "Black Knight" 8th Tank Company, 1945". Le Panzerkampfwagen VI Konigstiger, or Sd.Kfz. 182 Panzer VI ausf B Tiger II, nicknamed the King's Tiger (Royal Tiger), is a German tank of the Second World War. Produced 50 copies for the "Porsche" turret model, 439 copies for the turret model "Henschel", this tank had a large armour, an anti-tank gun giving it the ability to put out of action all Allied tanks in service during the last two years of the conflict, but it was very heavy (76 tons in combat order) and had the same engine as the 50-ton Panther tank in combat order. Its weight-to-power ratio was therefore lower, it was slow and unmoved, could not pass all the bridges, was extremely fuel-intensive, and had to change tracks before and after any rail transport.
