My photo etch grills from Welsh Dragon arrived yesterday. I am in need of a little guidance from those of you who have installed it. My question is, do I cut away the plastic grill areas on my Tiger 1 before installing or do I simply lay the photo etch over them? Thanks

Well, I don't know what your model is like, but perhaps this real Tiger will help?

Well, my Tiger 1 grill area looks just like that. Over the top it is. Thank you David.

The job came out well Shaun, and it wasn't too bad. I painted them first and then glued them in place. It made a nice difference in the look of the tank. Now to give them a little worn look. Next will be to paint the tools and get them installed. Thanks for the help.
