Jagdtiger, 1/48 - Hauler HLX48306

Hauler HLX48306 is a 1/48 photo-etch set intended for the Tamiya Jagdtiger model. This detailing accessory helps enhance the reproduction of this German heavy tank destroyer from the Second World War with finely detailed metal parts made by photo-etching.

The Jagdtiger

The Jagdtiger was a German heavy tank destroyer developed at the end of the Second World War on a basis derived from the Tiger II. Its silhouette stands out thanks to a massive fixed superstructure and a main armament of very large caliber. It is an iconic subject for a 1939-1945 German armored vehicle model.

Detailing set for 1/48 scale model

Photo-etching is used in static scale modeling to represent parts whose thickness must remain particularly thin at scale. The Hauler HLX48306 set is designed to accompany the Jagdtiger Tamiya at 1/48 and fits into a building and super-detailing project for this vehicle.

Preparing the photo-etched parts requires careful work: they are separated using a fine blade or a suitable pair of tweezers, then shaped precisely before gluing. Cyanoacrylate glue is generally suitable for assembling the metal elements onto a plastic model. A suitable primer then makes it easier to paint and achieve a uniform, well-finished surface.
