This is my T-90 project, the grills are from Eduard Zoom set for the Tamiya T-72 and they're not yet glued in place. As the picture show, you can see through the grills, I know that there must be cross shaped bars inside them like this:

There are two problem with that. Based upon in pics I have, I can estimate the thickness of those bars, but not the depth... Any recommendations?
Another thing:
In the second pic I removed the grilled part, and where it was placed I supose there must be a hole, Is that correct?... Any Idea about that?..
Any help will be a lot appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards.
