Refine the exterior detail of your Challenger 2

The Tamiya 35277 photo-etched upgrade brings finely etched metal parts to your 1/35 Challenger 2 kit. This pack includes the protective mesh for the rear engine grille and a detailed Challenger 2 nameplate to improve the realism of your model.

Advantages of metal etch upgrades

Metal photo-etch parts offer much thinner profiles and crisper pattern definition than plastic alternatives. They are ideal for replicating grille mesh and small metal fittings, and they help reduce the visual scale effect common with thicker plastic parts.

Fitment and kit pairing

Designed for companion use with Tamiya's Challenger 2 kit (item number 35274), this set replaces specific exterior kit parts. Test-fitting and gentle shaping will ensure the etched sections align correctly with the original assembly.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Photo-etched metal
  • Includes: Rear engine grille netting, Challenger 2 nameplate
  • Compatibility: Tamiya Challenger 2 kit (35274)
No special paints are required, but use a metal primer before topcoating to ensure even coverage and adhesion. Standard model acrylics and enamels will work once primed.
The photo-etched mesh has a much thinner gauge and finer pattern than the supplied plastic grille, improving scale appearance at close viewing distances.
Soldering is possible for metal-to-metal joins but requires care to avoid heat damage to surrounding kit parts. For most assemblies, CA glue or tiny spot epoxy is simpler and effective.
The nameplate is sized to match the kit location. Minor trimming or slight bending may be needed for perfect seating depending on individual kit tolerances.
