Tiger II of early production – side armor plates in 1:35 scale are a photo-etched add-on set for a plastic kit you already own, not a model. They match the appearance of the first production machines. Intended for the Takom 2096 kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This photo-etched set from Voyager Model is meant for a model of the German Tiger II heavy tank in the fit matching the early production machines. It holds the side armor plates, the Schürzen, and their attachment in photo-etched brass. The model of the vehicle is not part of the package; the set serves as an accessory for a kit in 1:35 scale you already have. The set is intended for the Takom 2096 kit.
Early examples of the Tiger II tank differ from later series production in a series of details, most noticeably in the shape of the turret with its rounded front wall. The vehicle carried a long-barreled 88 mm gun and heavily sloped armor on the hull. The changes between the early and the later appearance also touched small items on the hull, which matters to a modeler, because accessories are not interchangeable between the variants.
The key to a clean result is dispensing the cyanoacrylate. Never glue straight from the bottle; a drop is disproportionately large for a photo-etched part, floods the relief and turns into a white haze. Squeeze a small drop onto a piece of aluminum foil or onto a tile and take it up with the tip of a thin wire, a pin or an old drill bit. For individual plates a tiny spot on each hanger is enough. Thin glue creeps into a joint by itself; on larger areas reach for the gel version with a longer setting time. Wipe any excess away at once with a cotton bud.
The set is an accessory, not a model. It does not hold the kit of the vehicle, glue or paints.
