Meng Model Ts-031 1 35th Scale German Tank King Tiger Sd.kfz.182 Henschel Turret

Fully detailed King Tiger for less money than many alternatives

This kit is very good value for money compared to many larger AFV WWII kits, which typically cost 50% more on average. The Meng detail and quality of mould is very good and in some areas as good as you can get elsewhere. Whilst the fit of the parts is most places also very good, especially considering there are doubled-up sections to give scale armour thickness, there are some joins that require holding together whilst glue sets to avoid gasp, or gaps that can't be avoided and need a small amount of fill. Some of the very small thin parts are hard to detach from the sprue without them being bent by the sideways force of cutters. The tracks which are a large part of a kit like this are "link and length" type which are better than rubber band or vinyl type, but not as realistic as true independent link, esp.considering the natural sag you get with the Tiger II tracks. However it's a reasonable compromise given the cost of the kit - you get a lot for your money.Read full review

Outstanding quality

Great quality as you'd expect from a Meng kit. Though I wouldn't recommend this kit for a beginner. The box is jam packed full of plastic along with options on whichever type you choose. The only gripe I have with meng kits are they're prices. I suppose I was lucky getting this kit as a 'bargain'. But meng really need to drop the prices along the range as it's forcing modellers out of the hobby.Read full review

Fabulous kit of the King Tiger

I've read a lot of reviews online before I bought this, and after receiving it I wasn't disappointed.

A great turned metal barrel, superb molding quality - it's up there with Dragon and Tamiya and for this price you can't quibble. In fact you'd be daft to get any other kit really.

Can't wait to get building!Read full review
