Here is my Tiger II Henschel. The word Henschel actually refers to its turret, in which another variant of turret was also produced by Porsche mounted on the exact similar hull. Adolf Hitler chose Henschel design over Porsche because of the frontal 'round' shape of the Porsche turret which allows easier bullet access to the crew and disabling its rotation.

This one here is from Heng Long 1/16th line. It's still factory fresh and the only modification I made was the relocation of antenna, which I designed based on historical accuracy. Apparently, there are still plenty more to study. This will just take time.
Henschel King Tiger or Tiger II, historically and academically known as the 'Production turm'. Notice the figure over there - a highly detailed German Wehrmacht machine gunner carrying an MG34. A new transmitter over there as well.
