Aber 48036 Pz.Kpfw.VI, Ausf.B TIGER II błotniki i osłony boczne Tamiya 1/48

Aber 48036 is a professional detail-up set designed for modelers wishing to enhance the realism of their German heavy tank model, the Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B Tiger II (also known as the “Königstiger”). The set in 1/48 scale is intended for use with the popular kit from Tamiya. The kit includes precisely etched photo-etched metal parts that let you replace the plastic fenders and side skirts that come in the base kit.

The Tiger II tank was one of the most technically advanced German tanks of World War II. Used on the Eastern and Western fronts in 1944–1945, it became famous for its extremely strong armor and powerful 88 mm gun. The side armor and fenders were designed to protect sensitive running gear parts from mud, shrapnel, and enemy fire, and their realistic reproduction is a key feature in building a model of this legendary vehicle.

• Scale: 1/48
• Country of use (original): Germany (Third Reich)
• Period: World War II, 1944–1945

We recommend the Aber 48036 set to demanding modelers who want to give their Tiger II an authentic appearance, surpassing the standard out-of-the-box version. The photo-etched parts accurately capture the details of the sheet metal components used in the original – they are thinner than plastic parts and allow the creation of natural deformations so typical for well-used World War II tanks.

Assembly difficulty level is rated at 4/5. It is recommended for modelers with intermediate to advanced experience, especially those already familiar with working with photo-etched parts. As a result, you will achieve a model with excellent display qualities.
