Tiger II Tank Military Building Blocks Set
The Tiger II — known to Allied forces as the King Tiger — was the most heavily armoured tank to see production service in the Second World War. Its sloped armour, long 88mm KwK 43 gun and sheer mass made it a formidable opponent on every front it served. This 1,780-piece brick-built replica captures that legacy with precision: the distinctive Henschel turret with its sloped facets, the three-tone ambush camouflage scheme in sand, dark green and dark red, the individual track links, the full surface detail of a tank designed to be difficult to kill. At 36.6 cm long, it is a model built to the same uncompromising standard as the vehicle it recreates.
The internal architecture is as considered as the exterior. The build is structured around three separable modules — lower hull with running gear and track assembly, upper hull with fighting compartment, and the turret — which stack and interlock cleanly. The cutaway reveals what lies inside before the outer panels close it in: engine block, ammunition stowage in gold-coloured rounds, red drivetrain components and the turret ring mechanism. The commander's cupola on the turret roof mounts a working MG34 machine gun on its pintle. Exhaust pipes exit the rear hull at the correct angle. Every external fitting — tow cables, spare track links on the hull sides, periscope covers, antenna — is reproduced at a level of detail that holds up to close inspection.
The turret rotates through 360 degrees on its ring bearing, and the main gun elevates and depresses on its trunnion mount — the two functional features that define the build's interactive character. The individual track links are assembled separately on both sides and joined into continuous runs, replicating the wide-track running gear that gave the Tiger II its characteristic ground-clearance profile. An additional accessories sprue includes loose shells, a cleaning rod, tools and spare components that can be displayed alongside the finished model.
The three-tone ambush camouflage — reproduced in sand, dark green and dark red across both hull and turret — is built directly into the brick colour layout rather than painted on. This means the camouflage pattern is structural, not cosmetic, and maintains its integrity from every viewing angle. At 36.6 × 13.8 × 13.7 cm, the Tiger II sits with authority on any display surface. This is a build for military history enthusiasts who take their subject seriously.
Expert Note: Assemble both track runs completely before closing the lower hull — tensioning and aligning the individual links is significantly easier with full access to the running gear. The turret ring is a precision-fit assembly; verify smooth rotation before securing the final hull roof panels, as access to the ring mechanism afterwards is limited.
