Hi again,

King Tiger tank V1 had different front wings.

Does anyone knows who is the manufactured of this particular series?

@EggMan,

My best guess it that these fenders are from Aber for the E-50/75 tank. These fenders could easily be adopted for use on the first three prototype Tiger II's (V1,V2 and V3). Here is a link for these Aber fenders. Click on the 'Download PDF instruction' link on that page to see what's included in the photo-etch set. I have a copy of these fenders and the front fenders are the same as for the prototype.

I had scratch built a set of the front fenders for the prototype Tiger II I was working on (still unfinished) some years back before this set became available.

Hope this helps,
~ Eddy

Armorama is the best place to ask questions about the model construction related matters.

Thank you Eddy
