  Dragon’s latest 1/72 scale King Tiger with Porsche turret has just been announced. 
  It is the first ever to feature a pre-molded zimmerit coating. Zimmerit was 
  an anti-magnetic paste applied to many armored vehicles to prevent enemy soldiers 
  from attaching magnetic antitank mines. Zimmerit is notoriously difficult to 
  replicate on models, especially so in 1/72 scale, so this fine model kit offers 
  modelers the ideal solution. Using Dragon’s patented injection-molded zimmerit, 
  the hull and turret of the mighty Tiger II tank features an accurately textured 
  zimmerit surface. The kit also features one-piece DS tracks for added modeling 
  convenience. There is also a generous supply of photo-etched components to enhance 
  specific details. To finish their masterpieces, modelers are offered a wide 
  range of high-quality Cartograf decals. All in all, this King Tiger with Porsche 
  turret and zimmerit coating is a very attractive package!
About the King Tiger
  A total of 489 King Tiger tanks were produced between January 1944 and March 
  1945. The first 50 tanks were fitted with a turret manufactured by Porsche that 
  was originally intended for the VK4502(P). Unfortunately, these turrets had 
  a rounded front plate, which resulted in a deadly shot-trap. Henschel redesigned 
  the turret and mantlet, and all remaining King Tiger tanks sported this later 
  turret.
