Upgrade grille detail for a more convincing Cromwell

The Tamiya 35222 1/35 Cromwell Tank Photo-etched Grille Set supplies precision-cut metal grilles that bring realistic surface detail to the Cromwell kit. These parts reproduce the tank's fine mesh and enhance visible engine and vent areas.

Thinner, crisper parts for authentic scale look

Photo-etched pieces offer slimmer profiles and sharper perforations than plastic alternatives, making small features look correct at 1/35 scale. Adding this Tamiya set improves the visual realism of your finished model.

When to fit photo-etched upgrades

Choose photo-etch when you want defined, historically accurate detail without extensive scratchbuilding. These grilles are a focused upgrade that lifts the overall presentation of a Cromwell model.

Do these grilles require special preparation before painting?

Yes. Clean the metal to remove oils, apply a suitable primer for metal, then paint. This helps paint adhesion and prevents chipping.

Are replacement parts available if I damage a piece?

Spare parts depend on stock from suppliers. Small damaged sections can sometimes be repaired or replaced using thin metal patches if you have spare fret material.

Will these parts affect kit assembly order?

You may need to alter the build sequence slightly to fit the grilles before certain subassemblies are closed up. Check dry fit positions early to plan the assembly steps.
