About product

Photo-etched side skirts for the King Tiger in 1:35 scale

On the real vehicle the sheet-metal covers over the running gear are only a few millimeters thick, whereas in injection-molded plastic the same part is incomparably heavier in 1:35 scale. It shows most on the edge that faces the viewer. This set offers photo-etched metal replacements cut for two specific kits, the manufacturer's part numbers RFM5125 and RFM5126.

The real subject

The Tiger II, widely known as the King Tiger, was a German heavy tank of the closing stage of the Second World War. It combined steeply sloped armor with a long 8.8 cm gun barrel and ranked among the heaviest machines of its day, which told on its mobility and its reliability. On surviving and photographed vehicles the covers over the running gear were often bent or missing, so on a model they are a rewarding feature: a bend, a dent or a missing section can all be shown on them.

How to work with photo-etched parts

  • cut the parts from the fret with a sharp blade on a rigid work surface, do not tear them off
  • level the cutting remnants with a fine file so the edge stays straight
  • make the bends in a photo-etch bender or over a flat blade, following the scored lines on the part
  • bond with cyanoacrylate glue applied drop by drop, not spread over the whole area
  • degrease the metal before painting and use a primer, otherwise the paint will rub off

Terms of supply

The photo-etched set is supplied on its own. The kit, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise. The scope of the set and the assembly sequence are given in the manufacturer's instructions.

FAQ

The name ties it to the kits with the part numbers RFM5125 and RFM5126. On other King Tiger kits in 1:35 scale the parts may not fit without reworking.

Cyanoacrylate glue applied drop by drop. Plastic cement does not work on metal, and cyanoacrylate spread over a whole surface leaves marks.

Along the lines etched into the part, best in a photo-etch bender or over a flat blade pressed against the line. Make the bend in a single movement.

It is not. Only the photo-etched set is supplied; the kit has to be bought separately.
