The Tamiya 49209 photo-etched grill is produced for the 1/16 scale Tiger I RC tank and replaces overscale plastic grilles with thin metal components. This upgrade emphasises scale-correct thickness and crisp edge detail for display-ready builds.
Photo-etched parts allow very fine slotting and true-to-scale profiles that are difficult to achieve with injection-moulded plastic. The result is a more authentic grille appearance under close inspection.
Use fine tweezers and a steady work surface, and trial-fit every piece before applying adhesive. A small file or sanding stick will tidy mating edges and help achieve seamless joins.
