Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger Etched Grille: Boost realism with thin metal grilles

For builders who focus on surface detail, the Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger Etched Grille offers a practical upgrade to the standard kit parts. The etched components mirror the delicate grille work on the actual tank, improving authenticity on finished 1/35 King Tiger models.

Precision engineering in photo-etched metal

The Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger Etched Grille uses photo-etching to recreate fine perforations and edges that plastic cannot match. This results in crisp detail that holds up under close viewing and photography, ideal for modellers who demand accuracy.

Perfect for competition and cabinet display

Installing the etched grille enhances the overall finish and helps the model stand out in both competitive builds and private collections. The extra detail contributes to a more convincing scale effect at all viewing distances.
