About product

Engraved plate with a German type mesh 1:48 - a 100x50 mm plate

This is not a kit or a set for a particular model but a metal plate 100x50 mm overall, into which a mesh texture is etched over the whole area. The maker Hauler designates it as the German type. You cut the material exactly to the shape of the opening or the cover you want to face.

Where mesh counts on a model

The grilles over the radiators and fans of an engine compartment, the covers of air intakes, the ventilation of superstructures and protective screens are among the most conspicuous places on any model of a military vehicle. A plastic mold molds them as a solid surface with a suggested pattern, which seen from above immediately gives away that it is a model. A metal plate with a regular mesh removes that impression and keeps a sharp pattern even after painting.

Tips for working it

Cut out a piece slightly larger, offer it up in place and adjust the edge with a file until it sits down. Glue with super glue applied around the edge onto a sanded and degreased base. The impression of depth is made with paint: leave the area under the mesh, or the hollows of the pattern themselves, dark, apply a lighter shade to the edges with a dry brush and finally add a fine wash. The eye then sees space even where there is physically no hole. Suggest soot and dust around the exhausts with pigments right at the end.

Who the material is for

  • Modelers who are bothered by solid plastic engine compartment grilles.
  • Builders of vehicles and conversions in 1:48 scale.
  • Diorama builders who need mesh for covers and barriers.
  • More experienced modelers used to cutting and gluing photo-etch.

This is an accessory material, not a kit. The model, glue, paints and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The plate is engraved, that is, the texture is etched into the surface rather than cut right through. A fully see-through mesh is a different kind of part.

With paint. Leave the hollows of the pattern dark, bring out the edges with a dry brush in a lighter shade and add a fine wash. The eye then reads space even without a real hole.

It is enough to sand it smooth so that the plate sits down over the whole area. Anyone who wants to can cut the opening out and back the plate, but that is already work for the experienced.

Usually yes. The 100x50 mm size is many times larger than the individual grilles on a model in 1:48 scale, so you will use the remainder again next time.
