Hotte, thank you so much for the light information. I am going to have a lot of fun lighting the interior of my Panther up! :D
For others watching this here is what I ordered and I will let you know how they performed when I get them.

Well I'll be... and it looks legit too. Why do I say that? Look how neat the radiator mesh is. Looks like a period photo and of a tank straight out of the factory. I havent seen a museum panther with mesh that neat.

Interesting that you mention the mesh... didn't think it was interwoven like that....so using household screen instead of PE is viable :D

Good eyes Jeff :thumbup:

It does look like factory photo no question. Just wish we could dig up a few more shots to verify. I have never seen it on the D's and A's only the G though...

Yes, my $1.00 splatter screen matches this pretty good and even to scale! :D
