The Tamiya 49209 photo-etched grill is made for the 1/16 scale Tiger I RC tank and brings crisp metal texture where plastic lacks scale thickness. Built from thin, strong metal, it improves visible detail and resists wear during handling and display.
Photo-etched components reproduce delicate grille slots and thin edges that injection-moulded plastic cannot match. Adding these parts gives a cleaner silhouette and realistic shadow lines on your Tiger I build.
Tackle installation with steady hands and fine tweezers, trial-fitting each piece before glue. Use small drops of thin CA or a fine epoxy join, and support parts while the adhesive cures to keep alignment sharp.
