About product

Photo-etched fenders for the Tiger I in 1:72 scale

The set holds photo-etched metal parts intended to replace the plastic fenders on a model of the German heavy tank Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. E, known as the Tiger I. Aber is a Polish brand with a long tradition in photo-etched accessories, and this item belongs to its range for the small 1:72 scale.

Why it pays to replace the fenders

For production reasons, plastic fenders have a thickness that in reality corresponds to several centimeters of sheet metal. In a small scale that disproportion is especially noticeable, because the fender is visible both in profile and from above. Photo-etched metal has a thickness comparable to paper and looks natural. On top of that it can be shaped: a front lip bent upward, a missing piece or a buckled panel look entirely believable on a Tiger, because on vehicles in action the fenders were among the first casualties of terrain and hits.

How to work with photo-etch

Cut the parts off the fret with sharp photo-etch scissors or cut them on a hard surface; never break them out. Bend them over a straight edge, ideally in a bender, and make the joints with cyanoacrylate glue applied with a pin. Before painting, degrease the metal with alcohol and use a primer so that the paint holds. Form any deformation while the part is still loose, before gluing it on.

Who the photo-etch suits

  • modelers who build the Tiger I in 1:72 scale
  • anyone after a higher level of detail in a small scale
  • builders with experience of working with photo-etch
  • scenes where the vehicle is meant to look knocked about

The tank model itself is not included; the set has to be added to a kit of your own.

FAQ

Sharp scissors or a scalpel, tweezers and cyanoacrylate glue will do. A photo-etch bender makes the work much easier, but it is not essential.

The target model is not stated here, because the name does not give it. So compare the dimensions with what you are building before you buy.

Only after preparation. Degrease the surface and apply a primer intended for metal, otherwise the coat flakes off when handled.
