but they say they are for the
Tamiya King Tiger (Henschel Turret) (Porsche turret) ○

I have not used ModelKasten on the King Tiger, but regardless of the brand they were intended for, as long as they fit the drive wheel, it should not be a problem. Worst case you may have to modify the teeth slightly to fit the tracks. If they dont fit the drive wheel, after market drive wheels can also be bought. I have seen a lot of on-line builds and dont remember seeing the King Tigers being a problem here.

Hi Mark,
I have a set of Friulis (ATL-41) in front of me. The picture on the box is of a Porsche KT. The tracks also come with the drive sprockets. So in assuming that they are supplied by Friuli that should take care of any fit problems.
HTH !

Thanks Tom for the insight.
Based on all the responses I have received either manufacture should work with the understanding there may be some adjustment's to make.
On Wisconsin!
