Although launching of MENG TS-031 German Heavy Tank Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger (Henschel Turret) model kit is being delayed, it's possible know all its details thanks to images available on the website of this company, even Box Art. 

The box art is drawn by the well-known artist Mr. MASAMI ONISHI, featuring the No.334 King Tiger (Henschel turret) heavy tank in Hungary in late 1944. It’s the No.3 ace of s.Pz.Abt.503 and was credited with 103 kills under the command of Heinz Gartner. There are many highlights in this box art. Mr. ONISHI even includes the German Gold Cross on Heinz Gartner’s chest.
