Photo-etched fenders in 1:48 scale for the model of the German Tiger I heavy tank. Thin metal replaces the thick plastic parts and can be bent into a damaged shape.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Tiger I was among the best known German heavy tanks of the Second World War. Its fenders were made up of thin sheet-metal sections, which in the field bent and tore off easily, so in period photographs they tend to be damaged, bent upwards or missing altogether. It is precisely this detail that decides whether a finished model looks like a machine in the field or like a vehicle from a parade.
A photo-etched fret with fenders in 1:48 scale. The parts are attached to the fret by thin tabs, which are cut through before gluing. The exact extent of the set and the model it is worked out for is given in the manufacturer's instructions. Leave the parts in the fret until their turn comes in the build; a longer metal strip stores badly loose and is easily crumpled.
Cut the plastic fenders off the kit and level the area for gluing so that the metal sits down without a gap. The metal part can be shaped: a bent corner, a buckled surface or a torn-off piece come about by bending carefully over the edge of a pair of tweezers. Run the bends along the scored lines. It is bonded with a negligible amount of super glue. Degrease the metal before painting and apply a thin coat of base color, or the shade will rub off the edge at the first touch.
The set suits modelers who want to replace the most conspicuous thick plastic parts on a Tiger I model in 1:48 scale with thin metal. The model, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
