The offered air filter shields are intended for modelers building replicas of the Tiger I tank, configured to reflect the modifications made for the desert conditions of North Africa – these shields are modeled after details used by the 501st Battalion during the Tunisian campaign in 1942–1943. Aber’s accessories are made from high-quality brass of optimized thickness, allowing for the precise reproduction of even the smallest construction details such as cutouts, hinges, and perforations. Such details are virtually unattainable with standard plastic kit parts.

Air filter covers not only significantly enhance the visual realism but also improve the historical accuracy of the model in relation to the original vehicle. This set is compatible with most 1/16 scale Tiger I kits from renowned manufacturers such as Tamiya and Trumpeter.

Difficulty level: 3/5 – Suitable for intermediate modelers with experience in working with photo-etched parts. The set requires precision during cutting, bending, and assembly, and it is recommended to use additional tools such as tweezers or photo-etch scissors.

We recommend this set to anyone looking to take the realism of their Tiger I model to the next level and who values perfect reproduction of historical details. Aber 16145 will add a unique character to any model and allows you to create an authentic replica of a vehicle from the North African front.
