The wheel set for the Tiger II and Jagdtiger in 1:35 scale from Friulmodel is a detail accessory for a model, not a kit of the vehicle in its own right.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a detail accessory, not a kit of a vehicle. The set is meant to replace the wheels on a model of the German Tiger II heavy tank, written in the name as King Tiger, and of the Jagdtiger tank destroyer, given in the name by the English paraphrase Hunting Tiger. Both vehicles stand on a related chassis, so the same set covers them. The exact contents of the package are stated on its box.
The Tiger II was the heaviest German tank put into service in quantity in the Second World War. It entered combat in 1944, carried a long 8.8 cm gun and massive sloped armor, which it paid for with great weight, demanding operation and fuel consumption. The Jagdtiger was built on the lengthened chassis of the same machine as a tank destroyer with a 12.8 cm gun and became the heaviest series-produced combat vehicle of the war. Both vehicles used interleaved road wheels with steel tires and internal rubber cushioning, quite different in shape from the earlier wheels with a rubber tire. It is precisely the interleaved arrangement that makes the running gear the most conspicuous part of the model.
With interleaved running gear the order of work matters most. Fit the inner row first, let it harden properly and only then put the outer wheels on, so that the whole assembly does not end up twisted. Dry-fit the wheels and make sure they all seat in one plane. Lay the paint down in thin layers before the outer row goes on, because once it is assembled you will struggle to reach into the gaps. Leave accents in the recesses, mud and dust pigments until the very end.
