Orange Box Ambush at Poteau with King Tiger Henschel turret

Cyber Hobby is releasing its latest Orange Box series, the King Tiger with Henschel Turret and four figures based on the "Ambush at Poteau". The event took place during Battle of the Bulge in 1944, where German army decimates an American column during the battle.
Cyber Hobby is pleased to announce another fabulous Orange Box combo featuring WWII German subject matter from its popular 1/35 scale collection. Following on from the previous Orange Box release of a Tiger I Early Production (Item No.9143) here comes another German heavy tank set. This time in the limelight it’s a Kingtiger with an angular Henschel turret. This type was the main production version of the Tiger II, of which some 492 tanks were manufactured in total. Mounting a powerful 8.8cm KwK.43 L/71 anti-tank gun, this was a formidable weapon system in German hands. Its armor protection was also impressive, causing the vehicle to tip the scales at 69.8 tonnes.
