Refine scale realism on your Type 90

The Tamiya 35278 photo-etched collection equips model makers with ultra-thin metal parts to refine the look of JGSDF Type 90 tank kits. These details are produced to sit correctly on Tamiya mouldings and enhance the model's authenticity.

Detailed components modelled from the real vehicle

The set provides items like turret basket mesh, headlight guard grilles, and a Muzzle Reference System cover, each crafted to represent the correct scale pattern and edges for display-standard models.

Fitting advice for a tidy finish

Components are profiled to minimise extra modification, allowing careful modellers to attach parts cleanly with standard hobby tools while improving the overall visual fidelity of the build.

Yes, replacing thin plastic details with fine metal photo-etch gives a sharper outline and texture that reads better at display distance and under close inspection.
Light annealing can make tight bends easier, but take care to avoid overheating which can alter the part shape; practise on spare fret material first.
Use a fine applicator and minimal adhesive; if excess appears, remove it gently with a solvent recommended for the glue type before it fully cures.
