Fine Detail for Your Tiger I Build

The Tamiya 49209 photo-etched grill is tailored to the 1/16 scale Tiger I RC tank and gives a thin, authentic grille profile that plastic parts cannot replicate. It adds crisp definition and improves the model's overall scale appearance.

What Photo-Etch Adds

Photo-etched parts capture thin edges and slot depth with precision, so vents and screens look correct at scale. Installing these pieces noticeably sharpens the front-end detail of the Tiger I.

Tips for Careful Fitting

Work over a tray to avoid losing small parts, use fine pliers or tweezers for shaping, and test-fit before committing glue. Filing tiny tabs and using minimal adhesive makes for a neater result.

The parts are delivered flat on a fret. You will need to bend and shape them to match the Tiger I mounting points using a folding tool or fine pliers.
A small photo-etch bender, flat pliers, and a fine needle file are useful. Work slowly and use a bench block for accurate bends.
Handle parts with tweezers or wear nitrile gloves, and place them on soft cloth when not working. Clean surfaces gently before priming.
Use thin primer and light paint coats to preserve slot definition. Avoid heavy brushing or thick coats that can fill small openings.
