The central grille panel followed the same idea although it didn’t need to be a sandwich construction, Evergreen strip being used for the slats and pieces of card positioned behind as shields either side of the radiator. I ran fine rod around the grille edges using liquid glue to help soften the rod to bend and turn it. In retrospect I could have used wire or solder to achieve sharper corners but the finished result looked fine. A couple of detail items were added, grille panel latches from softened and flattened rod and washer jets from small off cuts of the same rod. A coat of Primer would then show up any bumps and dips and they would be rectified. A scratch built bumper was also made up as this is also different to the kit bumper.
