Add Accurate Grilles to Your Panther Ausf.G

The Tamiya 35172 1/35 German Panther Ausf.G Photo-etched Grille Set provides finely engraved metal parts to improve surface texture and realism on the engine deck. This upgrade replaces flat plastic grills with scale-accurate metal components that catch paint and weathering convincingly.

Context for Modellers

The Panther series combined firepower, protection and mobility, and the Ausf.G introduced refinements to its layout. This grille set helps modellers represent those engineering details faithfully, especially around ventilation and cooling areas.

Benefits of Photo-etched Components

Photo-etched metal offers much finer perforations and sharper edges than injection-moulded plastic. For the Panther Ausf.G, these parts improve airflow detail and create realistic shadowing on the engine deck once painted.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Photo-etched metal
  • Assembly: Requires cutting and gluing
This set is tailored for the Tamiya 1/35 Panther Ausf.G hull shapes and mounting points, so fit on other brand kits may require modification.
Prepare fine cutters, a sharp hobby knife, small files, and cyanoacrylate glue or superglue. A bending tool or flat needle-nose pliers helps with precise shaping.
Clean parts to remove oils, apply a suitable primer for metal, then basecoat with acrylic or enamel. Use washes and drybrushing to bring out the grille detail.
