The big German cats (Panthers and Tigers) have prominent vents in their engine decks which usually show a vast cavern inside most models.  As an easier alternative to putting a complete engine in a kit, several aftermarket manufacturers have released resin inserts for Panther and Tiger kits to show some of the radiator and cooling fan detail that lies underneath these grilles.  While on a recent trip to Mission Models in Los Angeles, I picked up Artisan Mori's effort at replicating this detail.  This is my first experience with products from this small Japanese manufacturer, and I must say that I am impressed.  The two pieces included are beautifully and flawlessly casted, with exquisite detail and an excellent representation of depth.  There is a well-defined casting block underneath each piece which, once removed, allows the pieces to slip snugly in between the sponsons and the engine deck for a precise fit.  There are no instructions included in the kit beyond a photo of a Panther engine deck with the grilles removed, but installing these pieces is not exactly brain surgery.

I'm looking forward to adding these pieces to my DML Panther D once it's painted (the beauty of this is that I can add the inserts after the hull is assembled and painted, thereby avoiding any potentially challenging masking).  Although perhaps a bit pricey, I highly recommend these as a great addition to a DML Panther kit.
