Digger1895 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Sorry for the dumb question but I've only done a handful of models, all Tamiya, and this is my first time with PE. I'm building the Meng T-72B3 and it has PE grills. Now my common sense is telling me that they should go on 'shiny' side up, that is the side of the fret with writing on. I've glued the main ones on so its too late now anyway but I just want to make sure this is correct. The other side is flatter but the grill holes seem a little more defined and has cast a shadow of doubt in my mind. thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little-cars Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Assuming the detail is the same both sides & you are going to paint them it doesn't matter which way rounds, as long as they fit. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 If your PE fret has parts that need folding, they should also have little grooves on the side that's inside the fold. If you pick out a part that folds only once, or only in one direction, its groove(s) will generally be on the back. That can usually be taken to be the back of the fret overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
