This precision set is intended for modelers seeking exceptional historical accuracy and the highest level of detail in their modeling projects.

Historically, the 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun was the most powerful armament of the Tiger II (King Tiger) with production turret and the Jagdpanther tank destroyer. Both served on the Eastern and Western fronts from mid-1944 until the end of World War II. The canvas cover protected the mechanisms from dust and water, increasing the lifespan of parts and the combat effectiveness of the vehicle.

The Panzer Art RE35-088 set is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding modelers – the resin barrel has been crafted in line with the highest historical accuracy, resulting in an unparalleled surface detail and crisp edges. The canvas cover particularly distinguishes this set from typical plastic conversions, allowing for a precise and realistic presentation of the combat vehicle replica.

We especially recommend this detail-up set to intermediate and advanced modelers who want to take the level of detail in their 1/35 scale Tiger II or Jagdpanther models beyond the standard offered by basic plastic sets. We assess the assembly difficulty level at 3/5 – thanks to the high-quality resin and thoughtful construction, working with this part is satisfying and yields excellent final results.
