The Voyager Model FE48022 WWII German Tiger I Schurzen (GP) 1/48 set is a high-quality collection of photo-etched parts intended to enhance a German Tiger I heavy tank model in 1/48 scale. This product is dedicated to modelers who wish to elevate the realism of their builds and faithfully reproduce the characteristic details of add-on armor used on the original vehicles.

• Model scale: 1/48
• Purpose: Schürzen anti-tank side skirts for Tiger I
• Country of use: Third Reich (Germany)
• Manufacturer: Voyager Model
• Category: enhancement set (photo-etched parts) for plastic models
• Material: precision metal sheet processed by photo-etching

Schürzen are thin armor plates mounted on the sides of German tanks’ turrets and hulls, designed to protect against anti-tank ammunition and shaped-charge rounds. The Tiger I variant intended for use with this set was operationally deployed by German forces during World War II from 1942 until the end of the conflict in 1945. The Tiger I saw action on the most important fronts – from engagements at Leningrad and Kursk, through the campaigns in Italy, to the battles in Normandy and the Ardennes.

The Voyager Model FE48022 set enables a faithful reconstruction of the distinctive side skirts, which in plastic kits are usually simplified or too thick. The photo-etched sheet includes very thin, realistic Schürzen plates along with mounting details. All parts are precisely represented, ensuring an impressive appearance on the tank model and enhancing its historical accuracy.

This product is especially recommended for advanced and intermediate modelers (difficulty level 4/5). Working with photo-etched elements requires precision, but the results – high detail and authenticity of the model – are worth the effort. It’s an excellent choice for enthusiasts of German armor from World War II who want to make their model collection stand out and achieve the highest level of realism.
