I am building the Italeri Sturmtiger. Great build, good fit, lots of details. Now, I want to bang up the side skirts with some battle damage. Can someone tell me if there is an after market Tiger skirt and if so who makes it?
thanks

I don't know of an AM kit (probably is somewhere).
I have read articles and threads where people make them using old soda cans. Cut them, flatten them and bend and destroy as necessary. It's a good thickness and nice consistancy.

Not sure if there are any aftermarket brass sets made for the Italeri Sturmtiger, but you can probably use the brass set from Eduard item number 35366, which is meant for Tamiya's. I am sure most parts can be used on Italeri's, especially the side skirts.

Aber makes some, but their stuff is extremely comprehensive.

Well, I can ensure that I am going to try the metal foil approach first. Pictures to follow.

Verlinden also makes a nice set of resin Zimmerit and Brass fenders for the Sturmtiger.
