Tamiya 49209 1/16 Tiger I Photo-Etched Grill Upgrade  [49209]

Bring Realism to Your Tiger I Model

The Tamiya 49209 photo-etched grill fits the 1/16 scale Tiger I RC tank and replaces bulky plastic grilles with fine metal equivalents. The result is enhanced visual accuracy and tougher components for handling and display.

Advantages of Metal Grilles

Metal photo-etch preserves thinness and sharp edges, so vents look correct at scale and casts realistic shadows. These parts hold their shape better than thin plastic under light stress.

Assembly Pointers for Clean Results

Clean attachment points, dry-fit parts first, and use minimal adhesive to avoid excess squeeze-out. Employ a magnifier and fine tweezers to keep alignment neat during gluing.
