King Tiger (Henschel) 1/35 Meng

Inbox review of the new King Tiger (Tiger Ausf.B or Tiger II) from Meng in 1/35.

Medium sized box with very nice box-art on the top and two camouflage profiles on the sides, with paint number by AK Interactive.




First sprue with the turret parts and jigs for the tracks and engine meshes


Very nice rolled texture on the turret



Side skirts, engine covers, tow cables


Various small parts-hatches


The turret roof


Two types of gun mantlets


Two variants of exhaust shields


Fours sprues with tracks-link and lengths segments


No ejector pin marks, excellent detail overall


The wheels have very nice detail, such as bolts


Two sprues with the drive sprockets, idler wheels and other small details


Upper part of the hull, rear panel


Again, very nice texture and weld seams


Machine gun MG34, although muzzle have to be drilled, after removing from the sprue


Lower hull is one piece


Rubber caps for attaching the wheels


Two figures included, although detail is not very good



Clear sprue with periscopes


Small steel PE fret with the engine meshes


Decal sheet with markings, quality is mediocare


Instruction booklet with assembly steps



Color sheet with the camouflage profiles, two vehicles with Zimmerit




In the end this is very nice model of the King Tiger (Henschel) from Meng in 1/35 scale.
