Upgrade Your Tiger I with Fine Metal Detail

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.

Benefits of Photo-Etched Metal

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.

Thin CA glue is commonly used for quick bonds, while two-part epoxy gives extra strength. Apply glue sparingly and clamp or hold until set to avoid misalignment.
Yes. Clean the part with isopropyl alcohol, prime with an etch primer, then use acrylic or enamel paint. Mask carefully to protect fine openings.
