03129 Tiger II Ausf. B

The Tiger II, unofficially known as the King Tiger, developed in
1943, was produced by Henschel from 1944 onwards. The King Tiger
combined the requirements for armoured protection and fire power
in an exemplary manner. The front armour up to 150 mm thick could
not be penetrated by any of the on-board weapons of its
opponents. The side armour was up to 80 mm thick. Despite several
massive allied bombardments of the Henschel works in Kassel, a
total of 492 Tiger IIs - including the prototypes and 50 vehicles
equipped with the Porsche turret - were delivered to the troops.
However not all of these reached the units at the front. A large
number of Tiger IIs were lost when they broke down as a result
of their heavy overall weight or simply because they ran out of
fuel.
