Every Tiger in schwere Panzer-Abteilung 505 carried the same mark. A charging knight, painted on the turret, lance down, already at the gallop. It was not decoration. It was a signature. When one of these tanks crested a ridge, the enemy did not need to read the number to know who had arrived. By the summer of 1944 the 505 had already been through Kursk and the long bleed of the Eastern Front. Operation Bagration nearly finished them. What was left of the battalion was pulled off the line near Molodetschno in July, sent back to Ohrdruf, and handed forty-five brand new Königstigers. Nearly seventy tons each. The last and heaviest expression of German heavy tank design. On the 9th of September 1944 they were back in the fight at Nasielsk, holding the Narew line against the Soviet bridgeheads. Turret 124 was one of them. Not a museum piece. Not a parade tank. A working heavy tank in an independent battalion, sent wherever the line was closest to breaking. Across the whole war, historians credit the 505 with roughly 900 enemy tanks knocked out, at a cost of 126 Tigers of their own. That is the battalion's record, earned by every crew that ever wore the knight. Not the tally of any one tank. We will never know the names of the five men who crewed 124. What we know is the mark they carried, and the machine they carried it on.
2,143 pieces of collector-grade brick. Every one of them earning its place.
THE 8.8, AND EVERYTHING BEHIND IT
The real Königstiger fought with the 8,8 cm KwK 43 L/71, a gun that could reach out and kill almost anything on the field. This kit does not stop at the barrel. Open the turret and the breech of the 8.8 is built inside, crew stations and all. A full fighting compartment, brick by brick.
ZIMMERIT, MOLDED INTO THE BRICK
Real crews troweled zimmerit onto their armor, the ridged anti-mine coating you see in every period photo of these tanks. We molded that texture directly into the brick. Not printed on. Not a sticker. Molded in.
180mm OF SLOPED ARMOR
The production turret carried 180mm across its sloped front, 150mm on the upper glacis. The angles that made the Tiger II so hard to kill are all here, faithful to the September 1944 production vehicle.
WORKING SUSPENSION, EVERY WHEEL
Nearly seventy tons rode on a torsion-bar suspension. On this kit the suspension works on every road wheel. The running gear moves the way the real machine's did.
PRINTED, NEVER STICKERS
The charging knight. The turret number. The crosses. Every marking is printed into the piece at the factory. Stickers lift and yellow and peel in a few years. Printed markings last as long as the model does.
NO GLUE. NO PAINT. NO FUMES.
Premium ABS, tight tolerances, snug fit. No glue, no paint, no drying time, no smell. Get a step wrong and you take it apart and go again. This is the part you look forward to on a quiet weekend.

"After 60 years of building plastic, this is a breath of fresh air. Hate to say this but after building 5, soon to be 6 of these sets I really have no motivation to do anymore 1/35 plastic armor. These are much more fun."

Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.
The kits are of high quality. The company does a great job of connecting the kits to historical moments and crews. This makes the build and display of the models worth the money.

Battalion MemberAwesome build experience. I'm not a model kit guy normally, but this was straightforward to follow. The instructions were clear with big illustrations that actually made sense. No glue, no paint, no mess. I built this thing at my kitchen table while watching TV. My wife was happy there wasn't a bunch of chemical smell or cleanup involved. Pieces fit together nice and tight. Nothing felt cheap or flimsy. Finished product looks legit sitting on my desk. Co-workers keep asking where I got it.

Founding Circle MemberGreat kits and superior customer service, no waiting for weeks for a package. Purchased a Panzer IV and a Sherman, they arrived only days later. Had a small issue with missing a bag of parts from the Panzer and got an immediate response and within days there was a replacement kit on my porch. Top tier communication and handling of the whole situation. Will be back for more.

Battalion MemberI have had the chance to put my hands on the only operational Panzerkampfwagen V Panther in existence in North America. It was a truly awesome experience. So I took a chance and my first purchase was the Panther build. It is truly remarkable how accurate this tank is. When you build it and say to yourself, 'they added this detail?' it is greatly understated how accurate these are. Further, Tony has been extremely accessible via email since my purchase. What business does that? When I go out of my way to review, it is truly because everything went above and beyond my expectations.

Battalion MemberI made a purchase from BrixKrieg recently, and within 3 days had my package. If you are like me and hesitant making purchases from someone new with little presence, don't be afraid to give these guys a try. From the moment I pressed pay (and prayed I wasn't making a mistake), I received confirmation, communication the next day it was ready to ship, and 2 days later the package arrived. The quality of the bricks is the best I have seen outside of the big name brand. Tight tolerances, and the fit and quality are on par. Will I buy from BrixKrieg again, absolutely. You have a new loyal customer.

Founding Circle MemberEach kit I have purchased has brought me joy in the assembly and the display. I feel I have become addicted to putting them together!

Read what real collectors are saying about their builds.This isn't a warehouse in some country overseas with a 6-week delivery window. This is our operation. California. Same country as you. Same pride as you.
My father taught me to treat every customer like gold. Without them, this business is nothing. That's not a policy at BrixKrieg - it's personal.
