Rye Field Model 2091 King Tiger Side Skirts - Upgrade Solution Series 1/35

This professional upgrade set is designed for the German heavy tank Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Tiger II (King Tiger) equipped with the Henschel turret. The product is intended for experienced modelers who wish to enrich their model with details of the highest precision, without the tedious assembly of delicate photo-etched metal parts.

• Scale: 1/35
• Country of use: Germany
• Historical period: World War II (years 1944–1945)
• Material: high-quality plastic that is crack-resistant and easy to work with, ensuring durability without the typical issues of thin metal sheets

The side armor skirts (Schürzen) were standard equipment for the Tiger II from mid-1944, significantly increasing protection against handheld anti-tank weapons—especially in urban combat conditions and difficult terrains such as the Ardennes front line or battles in Germany. The Henschel turret version was the predominant configuration, and this set is precisely replicated for that variant.

Distinguishing features of the Rye Field Model 2091 set:

• A set of realistic side skirts with perfectly reproduced mountings, rivets, and natural folds, capturing the appearance of the original steel shields
• Dedicated easy assembly—the components are more durable and resistant to damage than thin, photo-etched metal sheets
• The set is compatible with Rye Field Model kits as well as vehicles from other manufacturers in 1/35 scale
• Option to display the vehicle with intact skirts or with realistically recreated battle damage

Recommendation: The Rye Field Model 2091 set is aimed at intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level 3/5). Ideal for both diorama layouts and display models, it allows you to achieve an extremely authentic historical and modeling effect. If you are looking for perfect detail reproduction in your King Tiger model—this set is an essential addition to your collection!
