A set of photo-etched parts also available (sold separately) 1/35 Leopard 2 A5/A6 Photo-Etched Parts Set ITEM 35272 These photo etched parts for the 1/35 Scale Leopard 2 A5 and Leopard 2 A6 have been designed to more accurately reproduce the two storage buckets at the rear of the tank turret. Photo etched parts are to be used in place of the mesh netting supplied standard with kit. Made from stainless steel, these parts will not weather like standard brass photo etched parts. They also have been designed a lot thinner, allowing them to be easily wrapped around the bucket frame. Easy to use for an impressive look.
