Hi Oliver, Reisender.ab wrote about the meshes above the exhausts, I found a photo you can see the meshes

but on most of the photos I saw before it looks like the covers were made of sheet metal

Olivier
Thanks Robert.
I could not find these meshes on WWII photographs.

Hi Oliver, hi Robert, in Panzer Tracts there are some pictures and I think in the newer Nuts & Bolts (but this one I do not have till now). The big thing with this part is the form, its a challenge to cut something from a mesh you have on hands. There are also two pictures with prolonged exhausts, which lead the fumes to the side of the vehicle on the upper end of the mesh. Maybe to avoid to much dust?
For the Tamiya kit for the moment, I would think it may be a solution to mask the surounding and use a mesh and an airbrush to visualize the mesh structure with black colour a little bit. Have not tried this myself till now, but thought a long time about this, as I have 2 or 3 in my cellar, still not finished.
Have a nice week Andreas
