I'm thinking about building Tamiya Chally. Reviews suggests that it should be nice model without any aftermarket stuff but PE grills are good addition. I found two small sets from Voyager and Tamiya:

I noticed that biggest grill is different in those sets, Voyager one is divided on two areas. I have few photos of engine deck but still don't know which is correct. What do you think guys?

The Tamiya is the correct one, definately. The strut in the middle of the Voyager one is incorrect, because it should be below the mesh. Which is already correctly moulded to the kit.

Many thanks Thomas.
I supposed that Tamiya may be correct one but on photos mesh gives blurry effect and wasn't sure if strut goes under the mesh.
BTW it's next example of poor research done by producer of "update" sets
