I've just won a revell king tiger auction on ebay. Now the question is what can I get for it.
The eduard PE is a bit on the expensive side at hannant ~£12.
Grills over the intakes give to biggest bang for buck in this scale so I'm wondering can you get generic grill material. Would a railway model shop stock this kind of stuff?

Wow that is a bargain. It's 20 euro here. Shame the shipping would be so high to the UK.

This build uses nylon mesh from a fabric shop. This I gotta try.

I would email them and ask how much would shipping a small PE set to the UK would be before dismissing the charges as too high.
