About product

Clamps and brackets for the tow cables of the Tiger I and King Tiger — Aber photo-etch 1:16

A set of photo-etched metal parts from the Polish manufacturer Aber in 1:16 scale. It holds the clamps, brackets and holders with which the tow cables and the track cables for changing tracks were fixed to the hulls of the Tiger I and King Tiger (Tiger II) tanks. It is not a stand-alone model but an upgrade accessory for large kits of these machines.

The real subject

The Tiger I and King Tiger heavy tanks carried a wealth of equipment on the hull: massive steel tow cables, cables for pulling tracks on and tools, all of it held in precisely shaped clamps and brackets. It is exactly these small holders that on plastic kits tend to be simplified or molded in one piece with the hull; a photo-etched replacement gives them back the scale fineness that the large 1:16 scale reveals mercilessly.

Building and painting tips

Separate the photo-etched parts from the fret with a sharp knife on a hard surface and clean the edges up with a fine file. Make the bends with a ruler, tweezers or a photo-etch bender, and gluing is most reliable with cyanoacrylate glue in small amounts. Before painting, degrease the metal parts and prime them, otherwise the paint holds badly. The fitted clamps then only need weathering along with the rest of the hull using a wash and pigments.

Who the set is for

  • For builders of large Tiger I and King Tiger models in 1:16 scale.
  • For advanced modelers with experience of photo-etched parts.
  • For competition builds, where the fine details of the clamps and the equipment decide.

An accessory set; the base tank kit, the tow cables, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

The set holds the clamps, brackets and holders for the cables. For the cables themselves we recommend twisted wire or the parts from the base kit.

Best of all with cyanoacrylate glue applied in small amounts with a pin or an applicator. Ordinary cement for plastics will not bond metal parts.

Working with photo-etched parts in 1:16 scale is easier than in smaller scales thanks to the larger parts, but we still recommend basic experience of bending and gluing photo-etch.
