This open grill work doesn’t appear on MP or M-I units or at least in the photos of the GP-12 overhead shots. Part of this area will be hidden by the exhaust arrangement but not the entire grill. I’ll either cut this area out and replace with sheet plastic or fill with putty. Putty is faster but it’s difficult to not sand off the details. We’ll see how industrious I get. Well as you can see this area was cut out. Putty requires a couple of applications due to shrinking and then one has to be careful not to sand off any details. I’ll file this area and add a piece of plastic as a plug.
