Fine metal detailing for the Type 90 tank

The Tamiya 35278 photo-etched assortment is aimed at modellers who want sharper, more realistic details on JGSDF Type 90 kits. Manufactured to complement Tamiya's plastic parts, the set supplies thin metal components that improve scale fidelity.

Key parts for authentic visual accuracy

Included items cover turret basket mesh, headlamp protection grilles, and the Muzzle Reference System cover, each cut to show the correct profile and texture for close inspection and diorama work.

Installation considerations

Pieces are engineered for straightforward alignment with Tamiya kit locations, and the kit works well for modellers gaining confidence with soldering or glueing photo-etch parts.

Are any special skills needed to work with these parts?

Basic skills like careful cutting from frets, gentle bending, and precise gluing are useful; many modellers pick these up after a couple of small builds.

Will painting change the fit of these metal parts?

A thin primer coat normally will not affect fit, but avoid heavy paint build-up on mating surfaces and mask contact points before painting if tight tolerances are present.

What is the best way to bend small photo-etch items?

Use a flat bending tool or a pair of fine pliers and work slowly in small increments to avoid kinks; practise on spare scrap before touching the final piece.
