High-fidelity stainless mesh for Leopard 2 A5 and A6 models

When adding fine detail to a 1/35 Leopard 2 A5 or A6 model, these Tamiya photo-etched parts replace the kit's molded mesh with accurate stainless-steel mesh. They are intended to replicate the rear turret storage buckets with much tighter scale texture.

Fine edges and lasting finish

Stainless steel offers improved edge retention and resistance to wear compared with many brass parts. The thin etch is easy to shape around the bucket frame so the mesh sits taut and complements paint and weathering effects.

Simple upgrade, noticeable payoff

Fitting is straightforward: trim from the fret, form to shape and glue in place. The result is a subtle but noticeable increase in realism, suitable for both display models and competition builds.

Yes. Clean attachment points of any leftover sprue marks and lightly file contact areas. A small primer spot can improve adhesion for metal-to-plastic joins.
Absolutely. The etch is thin enough to form around curves with patience and the right pliers. Work slowly to avoid over-stressing the metal.
They can enhance weathering realism. Prime the mesh, then apply washes and pigments in the same manner as the surrounding surfaces to integrate the look.
