Can anyone advise me on the correct friul tracks to use on a King Tiger (Porsche turret)? I can't tell the difference between ATL-22 and ATL-16. I'm making Dragon kit #6312 and plan to make the vehicle from s.Pz.Abt. 506 as it appeared at Arnhem.

You should go with ATL 16. ATL 22 is only for the first Tigers II (so called initials).

Bill,
The very early "Porsche turret" Tiger II's would have been equipped with the ATL-22 type, by the time of Arnhem they would have been re-equipped with the ATL-16 type.

Thank you. I was going to buy ATL-22, so you just saved me a headache.
