The Panzer Art GB35-051 set is an advanced modeling accessory designed to recreate the final variant of the main gun and mantlet shield for the Tiger II tank (also known as the "King Tiger") with Henschel turret – in 1/35 scale. The product includes a precisely replicated late version of the mantlet together with a KwK43/3 metal barrel, making it perfect for enhancing plastic models of late-war German heavy tanks from the end of World War II.

Equipped with a Henschel turret and 8.8cm KwK43 L/71 gun, it participated in combat on the Eastern and Western Fronts (e.g., Battle of the Bulge, defense of Berlin). The improved mantlet and KwK43/3 gun variant appeared in the very latest production series.

Thanks to the metal barrel and perfectly recreated mantlet armor, the set enables creation of an exceptionally authentic model of Germany’s largest late-war tank.
