Hey all!
Does anyone know what can be used for the underside of the hull overhang on the M4? It looks to be mesh with gaps for the airfilters. Do PE sets contain this? Seems to be an expensive way to go, so is there an option of someone making scale wire mesh? All help appreciated!
Cheers
Brad

Hi Bradly I just used some diamond shaped Photoetch mesh that I had lying around but no this does not usually come in the P/E sets available..I made the framing from plastic strip...

Thanks Richard, think yours came up well! That's exactly what I was after. Do you know if there is manufacturer for sheets of this stuff? I know that you can get PSP plating etc
