Add fine metal detail to your Challenger 2 build

The Tamiya 35277 photo-etched upgrade parts are made to improve the realism of your 1/35 Challenger 2 model. This set supplies delicate metal pieces that reproduce the protective netting over the rear engine grille and a Challenger 2 nameplate to lift the display quality of your finished model.

Benefits of using photo-etched components

Photo-etched parts give modelers sharper, thinner details than standard injection-molded plastic. Their metal construction holds crisp edges and fine patterns, letting you represent small features like grille mesh with greater fidelity and durability on display models.

Fitting and recommended use

This set is produced to pair with Tamiya's Challenger 2 kit (item number 35274). It is intended to replace or augment the kit parts, allowing builders to refine external details for a more convincing finished model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Photo-etched metal
  • Includes: Rear engine grille netting, Challenger 2 nameplate
  • Compatibility: Tamiya Challenger 2 kit (35274)
Basic photo-etch tools are recommended: a sharp hobby knife, fine tweezers, small files, and superglue or CA for attachment. A flat bending tool or a pair of thin pliers helps shape mesh pieces cleanly.
The parts are designed to fit the Tamiya Challenger 2 kit (35274) with minimal trimming. Some light test fitting and clean-up of attachment points may be required for a precise fit.
Yes. Clean the parts, apply a suitable primer for metal, and then paint with standard model acrylic or enamel paints. Primer improves paint adhesion on bare metal.
This set is tailored for Tamiya's 35274 Challenger 2 kit. It may fit other 1/35 Challenger 2 kits with alterations, but fit and alignment are not guaranteed without modification.
