Grille screen source(s)

[Mike77]

Where's a good place to get grille screen/mesh for our trucks? I've heard some guys use regular window screen but I'd like to think there's something out there that's more in-scale and realistic. Thanks in advance!

Plano Model Products planomodelproducts.com has really nice photo etched brass/stainless Apex, Morton, and Peterbilt new style oval pattern grille sheets for 1/24 and 1/25 trucks. It is found on their website under HO scale - scratch builders materials. 

Ben at Class A Resin also has grille detail sets for Kenworth and Peterbilts, if that is what you're building.

If you look at frying pan splatter guards some use a very fine expanded metal. Others just use a fine window screen so you really need to look at different brands in person you can't just order one online.

 

This kind of thing but I don't know if this one has the right type of screen.

another option would be tulle in the fabric store.
