Upgrade your build with Tamiya 35165 King Tiger track links

The Tamiya 35165 1/35 German King Tiger Track Link Set is aimed at modellers who want to bring their WWII scenes to life. The King Tiger earned a reputation for heavy armour and formidable firepower, and this set recreates the track form that supported that weight. These links help produce a convincing scale appearance on display models and dioramas.

Track function and battlefield use

Officially the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, the King Tiger combined an 88mm main gun with very strong armour. Its track system was tailored to carry that bulk across varied terrain. Installing this Tamiya track set captures that functional detail for historically minded builds.

Detail and assembly considerations

The links are neatly moulded to reflect real-life components. Builders should expect to spend time on alignment and joint glueing to achieve smooth runs of track. The set is a good fit for hobbyists refining their assembly and finishing techniques.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35

Some sprue clean-up and light sanding around join faces is normal. Careful trimming ensures better fit and smoother track articulation in the finished model.
Yes. When glued and aligned correctly the links form continuous runs. Using pins or temporary clamps while glue cures helps preserve alignment.
You can paint links prior to joining for easier access to recesses, but be careful that paint does not interfere with mating surfaces. Alternatively paint after assembly and touch up seams.
