Precision metal detailing for the Open Interface SC430

The Tamiya 12617 Open Interface SC430 Photo-Etched Detail Parts kit provides a selection of finely made metal parts to improve scale fidelity on 1/24 models. Designed to match the Tamiya Open Interface Tom's SC430 kit, the set focuses on realistic external and internal touches.

Main components included in the set

The kit supplies photo-etched brake discs, meshes for the front intake and rear fender ducts, and catch pins for bonnet and boot. Also included are tow hooks, an antenna and a tyre marking stencil, while the cabin benefits from seat-belt hardware made with metal parts for added realism.

Contents of the Set

  • Two seat-belt materials (blue and green)
  • Two manufacturer logos for seat-belt pads
  • Tire marking stencil
  • Front air intake mesh
  • Rear bumper air duct mesh
  • Front and rear brake discs
  • Metal components for seat belts and antenna
  • Front and rear tow hooks
  • Catch pins for bonnet and boot

Tools to use for best results

Recommended tools include bending pliers, modelling scissors, a diamond file, a sharp modelling knife, angled tweezers, Tamiya CA Cement (Quick Type) and Tamiya Metal Primer to prepare and secure metal pieces.

Seat-belt fabrics and metal fittings are sized for the Open Interface Tom's SC430 kit and should fit with minimal trimming; test-fit before final glue-up.
Applying a metal primer is advised to improve paint adhesion and to prevent paint from chipping off thin photo-etched surfaces.
Use a dedicated photo-etch bending tool or fine pliers and make gentle, gradual bends to avoid kinks or over-bending the parts.
