I am working on a Tamiya 1/35 T-55 and I want to replace the engine grills with PE. Is there a PE set for the T-55 that only has the engine grils or a smaller set with engine grills? I am not wanting to buy a huge PE set as I only want a few items.
Thanks,
Cam

I am not sure if Tamiya made a small (steel) PE set of grills for the kit or not.
You might also try www.eduard.cz and search for t55, they do a small set line called the 'zoom' series, usually just a few pieces but often including grills.

In addition to Frenchy's reply,
TP043 is a grill set for polish/ czech built vehicles. TP044 is for Russian built vehicles.
The Tamiya kit can only be built into a russian built vehicle OOB, for a correct polish/ czech built vehicle you need the Eduard set.

Thanks for the help. I'll be going with the Soviet set.
