Aber 16004 Front fenders for Tiger I, Ausf.E - Early / Late version (1/16)

Aber 16004 Front fenders for Tiger I, Ausf.E - Early / Late version (1:16) is a precise accessory set from the renowned Polish company Aber, designed for 1:16 scale models of the German heavy tank Tiger I Ausf.E. This product allows for faithful replication of the front fender details, which were characteristic and often damage-prone elements of this legendary World War II armored vehicle.

The Tiger I Ausf.E was the flagship heavy tank of the Wehrmacht, intensively used by Germany on all fronts during World War II between 1942 and 1945—including at Kursk, in Normandy, and during the siege of Leningrad. The tank’s fenders, frequently damaged in combat, appeared in two main versions—early and late—differing in construction details and finish.

Aber 16004 is a set that enables construction of the fenders in both the early and late configurations, true to the original. Made from high-quality photo-etched brass, it guarantees maximum realism, sharp detailing, and exceptional durability of the finished parts. A significant advantage of photo-etched brass is its extremely thin texture—hard to achieve with plastic or resin—while being easy to form and adapt to the model’s requirements.

• Scale: 1:16 – allows for detailed reproduction even in large Tiger I tank models.
• Material: photo-etched brass sheet.
• Dedicated for Tiger I Ausf.E (Early and Late version) plastic models.
• Historical period: World War II.
• Includes a complete set of parts for both front fenders (right and left), for both early and late versions.
• Assembly instructions with clear illustrations.
• Category: photo-etched details for plastic models.

The set is recommended both for advanced modelers who value perfect reproduction of authentic details, and for intermediate enthusiasts wishing to enhance the quality of their model. Using photo-etched brass, you can achieve an effect unattainable with standard plastic parts. Difficulty level – 4/5; a basic knowledge of working with photo-etched parts and precise modeling tools is recommended. The Aber product significantly increases the collector value of every 1:16 scale Tiger I model—we especially recommend it for detail enthusiasts and for those preparing models for contests!
