I looking for just the pieces for the intake grill on a leopard and saw a listing for '1:35 Voyager Leopard 1 Engine Grill' on VLS but no picture.
Has anyone picked one of these up?

Paul,
There is a small photo of the Leopard 1 grill on Voyager's site, just scroll down, second from the bottom...here's the link:
http://www.voyagermodel.com/en/html/Aptools.html
I can't tell from the photo what they have created.
The grill I would recommend is the new one in the newly re-released and updated Eduard Leopard 1A4 set for Tamiya's Leopard 1A4. It is a two piece grill with the correct pattern(multiple diameter circles in a pattern) for under the top grill.
Check the Eduard site and you can download the instructions.

Jason,
Thanks for the tip. I hadn't realized the Tamiya 1A4 set had been redone. The new 2 piece grill looks great. Too bad it's not in a ZOOM set by itself.
I found the Voyager picture after I posted. I knew I should have used Google instead of Yahoo the first time.

I'm going to get the Voyager part and see how it matches up with the Eduard screen.
In the meantime, I had decent success making a part for the grill that is underneath the screen from extra Zelda side armor.
Not the exact number of holes but close enough.
