Superking: Building Trumpeter’s 1:16th Scale King Tiger

Superking: Building Trumpeter’s 1:16th Scale King Tiger by David Parker

Superking is the step-by-step story of David Parker’s remarkable award-winning 1/16 scale replica. This freshly reprinted book from AFV Modeller combines the 3 1/2 year coverage from AFV Modeller Magazine with additional unpublished material and combines archive photographs with walkaround photography of the real vehicle in 452 landscape pages to create what must be considered the ultimate guide to modelling the Tiger II.

The completed model went on to win Gold medals at Euro Militaire, Scale Model Challenge and the IPMS UK National Competition.
