King Tiger with special chains

Today I want to share my experience with the 6232 model kit no. Of the house Dragon for good times. This is about the German heavy armored car VI, type B, officially referred to as the Tiger II, the Allies often as King Tiger so King Tiger. In the present model kit is the typical architecture which is built by Henschel production storm. The first 50 tanks were namely deviating equipped with a tower of Porsche.
Mention should also be what is going on with the New Pattern track described in the kit to be. This is a special version of the crawlers (Kgs 73/800/152), whose use is supposed to a few vehicles sPzAbt has 506 limited in the Ardennes, but this is historically not enough evidence. The main distinguishing feature is mainly characterized by a 18-zähniges drive instead of the usual 9-dentate. The special chain himself inside on each member is a guide piece in the standard chain second only to each. I admit, I did not pay attention when purchasing the kit. But is now a disadvantage. Late Production refers to a version without Zimmerit.
The kit contains, apart from about 600 plastic parts, some photo-etched (Lüftergitter), 2 metal strands, aluminum gun barrel, 3 brass shells, and 4 figures (Volksgrenadiers, Dragon 6169). The chains are designed as individual members on Spritzast. Antenna and AA-MG there not typical dragon.
The detailing and fit is usual very good to excellent, although Dragon has draufgesetzt later with the smart kit one more thing. The instruction is, color illustrations on a high level and exemplary. Errors are not noticed. The assembly of the figures is integrated. A livery variant in 5 color illustrations of a finished model, there is also. The display options however are limited to the tank battalion 506 of the Army with the tower numbers 103 to 109 (1st Company).
As a small disadvantage of the kit has been found that the tool holders not separately separated from the fuselage tool, but are firmly connected to this. This becomes noticeable when blow dry. You have these parts later attach and multicolored paint with a brush.

Conclusion: The kit 6232 King Tiger Late Production w / New Pattern Track Ardennes 1944 Dragon in my opinion is suitable for high craft claims. The skill level is comparable to the level 5 described by Revell. All parts are very well detailed and characterized by a high degree of quality and accuracy of fit. Also in the figures, Dragon has had enough way ahead. Further advantages I see primarily the individual chain links and the small additional specialties (photo-etched parts, aluminum gun barrel, tank shells, steel cables).
