High-precision photo-etch for the Open Interface SC430

The Tamiya 12617 Open Interface SC430 Photo-Etched Detail Parts pack is a careful upgrade aimed at hobbyists who want finer realism on 1/24 cars. Created with the Tamiya Open Interface Tom's SC430 kit in mind, the kit supplies delicate metal pieces to sharpen both exterior and cabin detail.

What the photo-etched set provides

This detail-up bundle includes photo-etched brake discs, front intake and rear fender mesh, plus hood and trunk catch pins. The exterior kit also contains tow hooks, an antenna and a tyre marking stencil, while the interior gets lifelike seat-belt hardware with metal fittings.

Contents of the Set

  • Two types of seat-belt fabric (blue and green)
  • Two seat-belt pad logos
  • Tire marking stencil
  • Front air intake mesh
  • Rear bumper air duct mesh
  • Front and rear brake discs
  • Metal fittings for seat belts and antenna
  • Front and rear tow hooks
  • Catch pins for hood and trunk

Recommended modelling tools

To fit and finish these parts properly, use bending pliers, sharp modelling scissors, a diamond file, a hobby knife, angled tweezers, Tamiya CA Cement (Quick Type) and a metal primer intended for model use.

The parts are tailored to the Open Interface Tom's SC430 kit; fitting to other SC430 versions may require modification.
Work on a well-lit surface, use angled tweezers and keep a piece of Blu-Tack or a tray to stop tiny items from getting lost during assembly.
Thin CA glue is recommended for metal-to-plastic joins; use small drops and allow time to set for a clean bond without excess residue.
