Alpha,
Indeed! Tamiya in combination with the stock frames and ribs should make a pretty good grill. Extra cool, I'll be waiting to hear from you. ;o)

Good Morning Alpha,
That is Ok. ;o) I have some chains I painted OD and did not use on 'Maxene'. I will give them a spray in steel or black and drape them on one side of the 754(r)'s turret. Thanks again for enduring obtuse Salesladies ;o)
regards, Painless

Drew her a picture...it was exactly depicted... and she still didn't know what I was referring to :crazy: Finally asking for help ...the other gal took a look at the picture and found it right off :haha:

Happy Tanking SirImage

Alpha,
I had not. It looks like it would work for your L70 as well. ;o) I have the Taigen RX with a taillight plug in for reverse. I could try this there but as a Convoy light, it should really be on when the rest of the lighting is. I could hook it up to the mini board up front where the Notek light is attached but I am already worried about overloading that board. I think I will have to pass on that one and go with the extra lighting already tested and working. This falls firmly under ( "A mans got to know his limitations" ) * chuckles* I've got the Mato metal one back there that I will paint with a blue or green lens depending on which it was in 1942 . Thanks for the heads up.
regards, Painless

Nothing from the post today so I girded up my loins and prepared for an engine grill removal of Gluemonkian proportions. *laughs* Pics again to tell the sordid tale:
Attachments
Tamiya mesh grill covers glued into place with little forming required.   They come with indents for the ribs on the Tamiya version and this also works on the HL or Taigen version.

The under grill engine air intake louvers.  They can be cut out and set to open on the HL KV-2 but it is not recommended on the Taigen version due to the under deck mounted Smoker

The HL or Taigen plastic engine grills.  These are thick and solid but surprisingly, a snap fit.  NO GLUE!

Alpha,
An easy answer. Nope. ;o) The grills fit so nicely on the molded ribs that I saved myself the trouble. The mesh patterning is dense so you cannot really see through it either. A win for my peace of mind.

Painless
