About product

Tiger I latches of the turret stowage bin, 1:35, Lithokraft

Resin latches of the stowage bin for a model of the German Tiger I heavy tank in 1:35 scale. The bin at the rear of the turret closed with small hinged latches, and it is exactly those that injection-molded kits usually merge with the plate or only suggest. A resin print manages them as separate parts with an outline of their own, so the fasteners on a model read without a magnifier.

The real subject

The Tiger I, officially the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E, entered service in 1942 and remains one of the best known tanks of the war to this day. It carried the 88 mm KwK 36 L/56 and heavy frontal armor, but paid for it with a weight of over fifty tons, high fuel consumption and demanding maintenance. About thirteen hundred were built, an order of magnitude fewer than the Panzer IV. A large stowage bin appeared at the rear of its turret, which the crews took to; modelers know it as the Rommelkiste after the African theater, where the fitting became widespread.

Building and painting tips

Small resin prints break off easily, so cut them away with a scalpel only at the moment you glue them. Level the mark left by the support with a fine file under water; resin dust is not to be inhaled. Wash the surface with warm soapy water before painting so that no uncured print resin is left on it. Make the joint with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and key the part with primer.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who build the Tiger I and detail the rear of the turret
  • Diorama builders who put the turret bin in the main view
  • More experienced modelers who do not mind very small parts

This is an accessory for modifying a model, not a kit of the vehicle. The parts are supplied unpainted; the base kit, the glue and the paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. Check the exact contents on the box.

FAQ

It is not. It is an accessory set of small hardware that mounts onto a model built from another kit. The vehicle itself, the glue and the paints are not in the package, unless stated otherwise.

Not stated by the manufacturer; the box mentions only the latches. Count therefore on having the bin from a kit or from another set and adding only the fasteners to it. Check the scope of the set on the box.

Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), ideally in a gel or medium consistency so that there is time to align the part. Polystyrene cement will not dissolve resin, so the joint does not hold and the part falls off before long.

Yes. Uncured print resin residue is left on the surface of a print and it stops paint from keying. Warm water with a drop of dish soap, a soft brush and thorough drying are enough. Then apply primer and only then the top coat.
