The King Tiger with Porsche turret was among the most recognizable heavy tanks of the Wehrmacht used at the end of World War II. This variant, distinguished by its characteristic turret shape, took part in battles on the Eastern Front as well as in the Ardennes. The steel fender skirts ("fenders") were often damaged or torn off on the original, so perfectly recreating their delicate structure is crucial for a realistic model.

The Eduard 36399 set includes a complete set of photo-etched front and rear fenders, along with all details characteristic for the Porsche turret version. Compared to plastic parts, metal details allow for accurate replication of thickness, texture, and characteristic edge bends that are impossible to achieve with injection-molded technology. Especially recommended for modelers who wish to depict damage, bends, or signs of wear and tear.

This set is recommended primarily for intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level: 3/5) who are able to work with thin, delicate photo-etched parts. For the best results, it is advisable to use appropriate bending and cutting tools for metal sheets as well as CA glue.

If you care about accurate detail and historical authenticity, the Eduard 36399 King Tiger Porsche Fenders for the MENG 1/35 set is the perfect choice. Take your model to a higher level of realism and precision!
