The screen mesh goes behind the routed out windows done in Section B).  This diamond pattern mesh is commonly used in auto body repair.  You may want to check a UK source or visit your local body shop to see if they have any.  Paint the mesh black.  A good paint is the high heat barbeque spray paint.

Simply roll the mesh with a 1" roller and place it inside the window fitting.
