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

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:

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.
