Bring realism to your King Tiger with the Tamiya 35165 links

The Tamiya 35165 1/35 German King Tiger Track Link Set helps modellers upgrade the authenticity of their WWII armour projects. The King Tiger was one of the heaviest German tanks and its track design was integral to performance on difficult terrain. This link set reflects those design features in miniature.

Authentic background and track role

As the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, the King Tiger mounted an 88mm gun and carried substantial armour. The tracks were critical to carrying that mass across soft or broken ground. Adding these links to your model highlights that practical engineering in scale form.

Craftsmanship and modeller tips

Precision moulding ensures each link shows scale detail, but careful assembly matters for a clean finish. Expect to align links precisely and use appropriate adhesives. This set suits builders who enjoy a hands-on approach to detailing.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism

Are these links accurate for display models?

Yes, the links are moulded to capture the key details and profile of King Tiger tracks, making them suitable for display-quality models and museum-style builds.

Do I need special tools to assemble the set?

Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, a hobby knife, files and tweezers suffice. For alignment use clamps or masking tape while glue sets for the best results.

Can these tracks be weathered to look operational?

Absolutely. Use washes, pigments and drybrushing to simulate mud, dust and wear. Layering weathering products delivers a realistic operational appearance.
