I've got extra PE Fan covers and Grille covers from my 1/35th JTiger. 'spose they'd work? I'll take some measurements in the morning for you to compare to yours.

Here's what I got.
Round grilles are 15mm Dia.
Rect. grilles are 19x11mm including the ears.
If they'll work, you're welcome to them.

Build done apart from PE and running gear. The running gear on a Panther I always paint separately anyway .

Boots, you can wake up now Pete, cheers indeed ole fruit Marco, muchas grazias Sir Wouts, appreciated my dear neighbour Okay as the PE arrived the other day I can now continue . Grilles are on, also I added an extra antenna mount on the turret roof. On the official pics of thisvehicle you can't see the antenna mount, but at a guess and as this a command tank, it would have at least one more apart from that on the engine deck. I had some spare frillies which I have added as spare tracks, and scrubbed the skirts with a fine sanding sponge so that primer will hold better. Priming tomorrow morning . I shall be using the Vallejo Hobby Paint dunkelgelb rattle can primer/first coat Pint time

This coming along nicely now Paul B)
Whats the idea behind painting the running gear separately ? Is it due the wheel overlap?
