Video Review: 1/35th scale WWII German updates from FibelworksFibelworks.

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to a new manufacturer, at least new to me, producing high-end upgrade parts for 35th scale armour–

Fibelworks is the brainchild of Liam Boehm, with all of his designs and production coming out of Canada.

The company started by providing STL files through the popular website Cults3D, but found it frustrating over the lack of control of the distribution of the files as well as the mixed results due to varying 3D print capabilities of the end user.

Fibelworks is focusing on a premium quality product at a reasonable price, and has invested in 12K printing technology. The print setup focuses on fine supports to minimize the impact of the print. The packaging is beautiful and comes in an eco-friendly cardboard box. I am under the impression the packaging is under review; however, the samples I received are very impressive.Internally, the prints come protected in a small plastic container.

Muzzle Brake Set for 88mm KwK/PaK Early Type

1/35th scale

This set includes 4 pieces and will fit all kits. This set includes:

2 Uncovered and Covered 88mm Muzzle Brakes

2 Covered and Uncovered 88mm Muzzle Brakes

Price $9 AUD

Reference images often show German heavy weapons with muzzle covers in place. The fabric looks realistic and natural. It should fit the end of your model’s barrel. It includes:

Price: TBA

Product Link TBAThe next sample is for the armoured exhaust cover, which should be compatible with all Tiger variants. Interestingly, I noticed that these prints are manufacturer-specific and have all been thoroughly tested on the models.

The cast texture is truly stunning, and whilst stippling putty gives a reasonable cast look, there is no denying these sculpts are next level again.

The set comes with two with, and two more without the casting numbers.

These are a quick and easy upgrade to your next Tiger project and will be sure to enhance that area.

Panzer III Chassis Burnt Out Wheel (95mm)

Price: TBAProduct Link TBA

Moving to some of the upgrades for the STUG and Panzer III, the first example is the burnt-out wheel set for the Panzer 3 chassis. The set includes 4 wheels. 2 with the wheel cap and 2 with the axle shaft exposed.


Looking at the way these prints have been supported gives you an understanding of the thoughtful nature of the supports and how they have been designed to have as little impact as possible on the part.

With numerous reference books showcasing knocked-out vehicles, these wheels, while they are quite a niche product, are essential for those of you wanting to model a knocked-out Stug. The print is beautiful with no hint of layering lines, with an extremely high level of detail and fidelity.

Last are the smoke launchers.

Fibelworks is a new player and has a limited range at present, but if the samples I have received are anything to go by, I’m predicting big things for them.

Here is my review video of these improvements…
