Precision metal upgrades for your Leclerc model

Hobbyists aiming for finer realism will find the Tamiya 35280 - 1/35 Leclerc Series 2 photo-etched set a useful enhancement. These pieces are produced from very thin stainless steel to hold crisp edges and avoid the corrosion issues softer metals sometimes show.

Enhance visible kit areas with authentic components

The kit supplies delicate items like cargo rack mesh and an air conditioner screen to lift visible detail. Included hull grilles, fuel tank straps and the commander's hatch rim increase authenticity, and the Leclerc nameplate finishes the model for display.

Craftsmanship That Stands the Test of Time

Stainless steel parts stay flat through handling and painting, providing a stable foundation for primer, paint and weathering so the model retains accuracy over time.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Stainless Steel
  • Parts Include: Cargo rack net, air conditioner screen, hull grilles, fuel tank straps, commander's hatch rim, and nameplate

Great service and price thank you.

Are these parts compatible with pre-built versions of the Leclerc kit?

They are designed for the standard 1/35 Leclerc Series 2 plastic kit. If your build has aftermarket changes you may need to trim or refit sections to achieve a correct fit.

What tools should I use to clean and prepare the stainless parts?

Use a fine file or sanding stick to remove attachment tabs, and clean parts with isopropyl alcohol before priming. Fine tweezers, a sharp hobby knife and a bending tool will help achieve neat results.

Can these parts be used with standard weathering products?

Yes. After priming you can apply washes, drybrushing and pigments as usual. Metal parts may show different absorption, so test techniques on a scrap piece first.

Is the Leclerc nameplate detachable or fixed?

The nameplate is supplied as a fixed-detail piece in the set. It can be glued into place or lightly modified for alternate mounting styles depending on your display preference.
