German Tiger II Henschel with Zimmerit, Winter Camouflage (387.19-WY)

This Ready-Made Artitec model captures the imposing German Tiger II heavy tank with the later flat-front production turret commonly known among collectors as the Henschel turret. Its distinctive long-barreled main gun, broad sloped hull, heavy side skirts, overlapping road wheels, tow cables, pioneer tools, rear exhaust system, and open turret hatches are reproduced in finely rendered 1:87 HO-scale detail.

The defining feature is its heavily weathered winter finish. Areas of worn whitewash reveal the dark-yellow base beneath, while the deeply textured Zimmerit coating remains visible across the hull and turret. Mud, rust, grime, and paint wear accent the tracks, running gear, engine deck, and rear fittings, while black-and-white Balkenkreuz markings complete the authentic German appearance. Artitec identifies this as a hand-painted Ready-Made model constructed from resin with etched-metal components.

Artitec's Ready-Made models are handcrafted from high-quality resin and produced in limited runs. Each model is expertly preassembled, hand-painted, and often subtly weathered to recreate the appearance of a real vehicle in use. Because every model is finished by hand, small variations may occur, making each piece unique.

Artitec uses vacuum-cast resin to reproduce exceptionally fine, true-to-scale details that can be difficult to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. Etched-brass parts are added where appropriate to capture delicate components and further enhance realism.

Each model is assembled, painted, and weathered by skilled specialists—a process requiring considerable time, precision, and experience. Artitec Ready-Made models are ideal for collectors seeking exceptional detail and realism without the time and effort required to build and finish a model kit.
