Modelmakers seeking accurate surface detail will find the Tamiya 35179 photo-etched grille set a useful upgrade. The kit supplies finely produced metal grilles intended for use with Tamiya 1/35 Tiger I Late Version (35146), Sturmtiger (35177) and Tiger I Mid Production (35194) kits, matching the scale profile of the originals.
Thin metal grilles provide sharper silhouettes and a realistic edge thickness that enhances the perceived scale of vents and engine covers. When fitted cleanly, these parts raise the visual standard of a completed Tiger I model.
Be aware the Tamiya 35179 set will not fit the 35056 Tiger I or the 35216 Tiger I Early Production kits. Plan installations carefully: measure, dry-fit and use precise cutting to integrate the etched parts without disturbing adjacent details.
