Eduard 1:35 King Tiger Porsche fenders is a photo-etched set of fenders for a model of the Tiger II heavy tank with the Porsche turret. It is not a kit but a metal accessory for a plastic model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of photo-etched parts from the Czech maker Eduard intended for completing a plastic model of the Tiger II heavy tank with the so-called Porsche turret in 1:35 scale. It is not a kit of the tank but an accessory: thin stainless steel sheet replaces the chunky plastic fenders, which can never match the real sheet thickness of the subject. The difference is visible at first glance, especially on the edges and in the places where the fenders are damaged or folded up.
The Tiger II, in German Königstiger and in English-language literature the King Tiger, was a German heavy tank of the closing stage of the Second World War. The first production vehicles carried a turret with a curved front plate, for which the term Porsche turret became established after the original competing chassis concept. The fenders above the running gear on these vehicles were made of thin sheet and were removable; in field conditions they were often bent, torn or missing altogether. That is exactly why they are a rewarding place to add realism to a model quickly.
Cut the parts from the fret with sharp photo-etch scissors and make the bends in a photo-etch bender or on a metal ruler. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue; on larger areas the gel version with a longer setting time helps. Degrease the metal before painting and apply a good primer for metal surfaces, otherwise the paint holds badly. Thin sheet is easy to curl or crumple, so service damage can be suggested faithfully; the washes and pigments that follow for mud and dust effects then show up considerably better than on a plastic part.
It is not a kit of the tank but an accessory set. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
