| Subject: | Re: Questions of Photo Etch of Tiger I |  |

You have plenty of choice of PE for the Tiger 1. The big decision is
whether you want to have a small set which only gives you the grilles or a
full detail set. Eduard, Tamiya and Aber make grille only sets and all are
fine.
Eduard, Lion Roar and Aber all make good general detail sets. The Aber set
in particular is complex and over kill and does not include the side
fenders. I would get the Lion Roar or Edaurd set.
To use these sets , the first rule is only use the parts you want to, most
of us leeave half of them on the fret.
Cut the parts off using a sharp knife and a hard cutting board (eg glass or
meltecca)
Clean the edges using the knife or sandpaper
If necesary bend the parts using a folding tool or by securing one side firm
with a knife or ruler and folding on the join with a detailer knife or like.
Glue in place using a good brand super glue. Apply sparingly using the
point of an old knife blade to put the glue on the part.
Have fun
Neville
