Improve scale fidelity on your M1 Abrams model

For hobbyists aiming to sharpen the look of 1/35 M1 Abrams kits, Tamiya offers a carefully produced photo-etched parts set that brings finer metal detail to visible surfaces. This set helps lift a build from standard to more convincing display quality.

Precision metal parts for visible components

The Tamiya 35273 kit supplies photo-etched components crafted for the M1 Abrams series. These parts are intended for the upper hull grille, the rail around the loader's hatch for the machine gun, and the rear bustle rack, replacing softer mesh with accurate metal definition.

Which kits and sizing details

The upgrade is compatible with several M1 Abrams releases, including M1A2 Abrams Operation Iraqi Freedom (Item No. 35269), M1A1 Abrams (Item No. 35156), and M1A1 Abrams with Mine Plow (Item No. 35158). The etched sheet measures approximately 90mm x 60mm for straightforward integration.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Photo-etched metal
  • Dimensions: Approximately 90mm x 60mm
  • Application: Upper hull grille, loader's hatch rail, bustle rack
Yes. The parts are sized to substitute the standard nylon or plastic mesh on the listed kits. Use care when removing the original mesh and trial-fit before gluing to avoid damaging adjacent details.
Light priming is advised to ensure paint adhesion. Clean the parts of any oils first, apply a suitable metal primer, then finish with your chosen tank colours and weathering techniques.
