PE for

King Tiger

(Porsche turret)

This photo etch set is composed of 4 frets. The largest fret has most of the pieces while the other 3 smaller -and thinner- contain some finer items as are the track tow rope, engine deck screens and MG sight.

There’s no mention on the package or instructions of which kit this set is recommended for, but having myself the Dragon model I think that that is the one it is designed for, though surely it should be useful for the Revell and Trumpeter kits too.

As you can see in the pictures, it is a very comprehensive set that covers most of the external areas of the tank.

Putting aside the flat tools, everything looks very nice and I especially like the mesh representation of the engine deck vents screens, being finer than the ones that come in the PE of the Dragon model and include the large screens that go right behind the turret, which come as solid plastic pieces in that kit.

 
The instructions come in single A4 paper sheet and are pretty straightforward, though I found out that piece no.2 was omitted, which apparently is the commanders’ cupola MG ring.
