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.
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.
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.
