Description
DAN Models DM 35519 provides photo-etched engine deck grilles for the Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger in 1/35 scale. This aftermarket accessory for scale model kits is designed to enhance the engine ventilation area on WWII German heavy tank models.
Engine grilles are a visible structural feature on the rear deck of armored vehicles. Photo-etched parts allow thinner and more realistic mesh structures compared with standard molded plastic parts, improving the overall appearance of the vehicle surface.
Replacing solid kit parts with etched metal grilles helps create depth and more accurate scale thickness. These details are especially noticeable on large vehicles such as the King Tiger where the engine deck occupies a significant portion of the model.
For modelers: carefully remove the etched parts from the fret and test-fit them before installation. Using a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue and priming the metal surface before painting will help achieve a durable finish.

FAQ
What part of the tank does this set improve?
The set replaces the engine deck ventilation grilles on the King Tiger tank, providing thinner and more realistic mesh detail.
Why use photo-etched grilles instead of plastic parts?
Photo-etched metal parts allow much finer thickness and open mesh structure, improving realism compared with solid molded plastic parts.
Is special glue required for installation?
Yes. Photo-etched parts are typically attached using cyanoacrylate (CA) glue or similar adhesives suitable for metal components.
