1:35 Panther D P-E Grille Set, model detail kit

The 1:35 Panther D P-E Grille Set adds fine photo-etched metal detail to a Panther Ausf.D tank build, replacing thicker kit mesh with thinner screens that sit closer to full-scale engine deck hardware. Rectangular grille sections, circular mesh parts and a small additional fitting give key deck openings a cleaner, more technical finish once installed. The fret carries numbered parts for a controlled build sequence, helping each section line up with the intended position during trimming and placement. The circular pieces suit fan or intake areas, while the rectangular sections refine deck vents and grilles where molded parts can look heavier at 1:35 scale. This is an assembly kit, so the build itself is the focus rather than a quick add-on. A modeling knife and instant cement are required for fitting the etched parts, and assembly is stated at 600 minutes. On the workbench, the set suits builders who want to spend more time on visible surface detail and cleaner mesh treatment across the upper hull. Once painted and fixed in place, the metal parts give the Panther D a more intricate engine deck appearance for display alongside other 1:35 military models.
