Now the slat grill I find very interesting. I see on their web sight they do it in 1/24 scale that is very interesting.

First the twin MG mounts for the Sheridan, now the Argentinian Sherman Repotenciado, two rather obscure tanks that I am very interested in. I need to make it over to their site, now where is my wallet?

Just ordered two of the slat grills. Will add comment when I receive them.
I ordered what their web site said was 1/24 scale. There was no listing for 1/35 scale on their web site yet. I hope it wasn't data entry error cause I don't have any 1/35 scale jeeps.
I have to correct myself in doing more searching of their web sight I did find the 1/35 scale slat grill. So great they do both 1/35 and 1/24 scale.

Hello David

Don't worry, the grilles are printed in both scales and your order includes the 1/24 scale ones.

Best wishes

Thank you Federico for the heads up on the scales.
I was concerned I might of needed to pick up a couple of 1/35 scale jeeps. My eye's cant take 1/35 scale like they use to. That why I moved up to 1/24 scale. Limited number kits even more limited number of after market items. Hope that changes.

Thanks again Dave M

Just received my order of the 1/24 scale slat grille. Very nice and I'm sure the 1/35 scale grill is just as good.
Now to convert the Italeri Ford GPW frame to a Willys MB frame. The Hasegawa Willys MB measurement's are a hair smaller than the Italeri's.
Again a nice after market piece good to have more options for building a Jeep.
