Name PzKfw VI. Ausf. B Königstiger – Porsche turret and hull with zimmerit
Producer  TP Model /# T-7215/
Packing I’ve got my set only in polyethylene bag, without box
Type of kit

Conversion resin set for Esci/Italeri kit

Quality

Set contains 5 parts – upper hull and frontal and rear hull sides are adapted Esci parts (added zimmerit). New parts are Porsche turret and gun barrel (type used on this older version of tank ). All parts are correct, zimmerit is trustworthy. Small details are somewhat crude and it’s recommended to substitute them (acceptable are for example PE parts from Eduard)

Instruction sheet Only a schematic drawing.
Decals None
General Impression & Note This set is acceptable for those modellers, who have one redundant Königstiger. This year will be produced Königstiger with Porsche turret by Revell AG – we can except high quality, but also considerably higher price (my TP Model set cost just about 5,- € ). Another advantage of TP Model set is zimmerit, that Revell won’t add to its kit, I’m nearly sure. Every modeller has to decide what kit he wants – I’ve got this TP Model set and I’m satisfied.
