Big surprise Trumpeter Henschel King Tiger 1/16

Kit number 906, due in the US in December @ $599.95

haha..fooled the followers of 21st. Sorry had to.

all new 1/16 Tiger tank with full interior from what I've read, and don't worry Post-Release when the "new" factor starts to fade, the price will drop.

Are you sure it is the Henschel turret and not the Porsche???

If so this is great news

I think it's the Porshe turret.
If this is the one you're talking about. Kit 906.

I don't know all the details, I got the tip on Missing Lynx, while looking for new figure sets...but it was in the Axis Forum as a (H) turret...personally I don't care for Bugle(Slang for Trumpeter) kits as they tend to be really weird subjects in 1/35..don't know about the big stuff in 1/16..but from the pics posted I am impressed with the detail.

I just posted this as a slant to 21st and thier inaction on their King Tiger.

Nice model but a bit pricey. I think that I will wait for FOV to do one after the Sherman. BTW the new FOV Shermy looks nice but I think that I will pass on it. Now if they do a 1/16 Maus I would be all over that like white on rice.

It is nice, but too expensive. I won't be getting the 21st vesion either.
They may not allow them in the retirement home I'll be living in then.

Smittyrob, Seems like it il take that long before 21st gets their King Tiger out to market.
Wish They'd give us collectors/fans some intel. I remember the days when Mr. Roy Sutherland ( hope thats correct SP ) and TKO were able to give us updates and intel on current and upcoming products.
Well, time will tell..........I do wish that the 21st King Tiger was out.

Here's a link from Cyber http://www.cybermodeler.com/news/news080812d.shtml

I checked the pre order at Great Models and kit# 906
is indeed the Porsche turret...

I will pass on this one and wait for the Henschel...too much $ for an inferior turret design, picked because Adolph had a woody for Dr. Ferdinand P.

I would buy the Porshe turret one but not at $599.00 When I get get a Tamiya one for £120.00

HA! The Maus will be even higher ... if they do one. That'll be some expensive rice! A FOV KT will be even more expensive than a Sherman too. You'll be passing on 'em all.

The FoV 1/16 King tiger are going for £400.00 on ebay now

I know its been answered before but when will the 21st 1/18 KT be released? Anyone know? Anyone?

It will be in stores by Christmas 2007, along with the Flak 88, Boyington Corsair, and Bush Avenger. Didn't you get yours?

I haven't given up on the Tiger or 88, I just given up asking when.
