1:35 Dragon Sd.Kfz.182 Kingtiger Henschel Turret Last Production

I believe this one is meant to represent some of the final KTs produced and sent out to fight from the factory that were equipped with transport tracks. The KTs had the same width issues for rail transport as the Tiger Is so the use of transport tracks was a standard thing.  

Interesting, they certainly look narrower in the box art. I would be interested to see what others with more knowledge think.

I have just gone through one of my books and it does show a Tiger II with transport tracks, i hadn't noticed it before. So the vehicle did have them. I guess its not completly impossable that the transport tracks would be left on in combat.

Yes it comes with transport tracks. My thinking is it was 1945 and the close of the war, they were running out of everything and came up short on regular tracks so they used what ever they had at the time. I'm just guessing here and that's why I posted the question.

I have never actually read of or seen photo's of Tiger's II with transport tracks, only Tiger I. But i assume they must have had them. If the process was the same as the Tiger I, then when the Transport tracks were fitted, the outer road wheels would also be removed. The smaller tracks would only be used for transport asd the ground pressure of the vehicle would be increased with the smaller tacks fitted.

Does the kit come with transport tracks.
