E.T. Model EA35-095 US ARMY M1A1/A2 Engine & Turret Rack Grills For TAMIYA 35269 1/35 is a specialist set of photo-etched parts designed for 1/35 scale M1 Abrams M1A1/M1A2 tank models, intended for use with the Tamiya kit No. 35269. This kit guarantees exceptional detail quality, allowing every modeler to take their project to a higher level of realism and precision.

The M1 Abrams, in both the M1A1 and M1A2 versions, is an American main battle tank introduced into service in the late 1980s. It is an iconic example of Cold War and modern armored technology, used by the United States Army and allied forces in numerous armed conflicts, including the Gulf War, the invasion of Iraq, and in Afghanistan. Abrams tanks are famous for their powerful armament, advanced composite armor system, and modern crew protection solutions.

The product presented is a set of photo-etched engine grille covers and turret rack meshes, faithfully replicating the real construction elements of the tank. The parts are made from thin steel alloy or brass, characteristic for photo-etched technology, which provides highly realistic perforation and precise details unattainable with standard plastic parts. The kit does not require extensive modifications to the base model, and its installation effectively replaces simpler kit elements, significantly increasing the collectible value of the miniature. The product is designed for precise fitting and requires the use of proper modeling tools and skills in handling photo-etched parts.
