I finally got my alclad chrome in, so I can spray the last few parts today.

I agree with Boots, with the other work, you should be able to pull of a radiator just fine.

Bummer about the radiator. But I have faith in your ability to build one

 

[MilitaryAircraft101]

Mmmmm.... Beautiful, too bad on the radiator..

 

[RocketSilo]

I buckled down and started scratch building the radiator, so far so good , I have been taking some snapshots as I go. once I have it compete I will post a quick slide show ,, I cut templates from card stock and just went from there,, I added an overflow bottle and tube as well,, right now need to wait for glue to dry so I can start sanding and finessing ...It has actually been relaxing and enjoyable ..it 's also a good chance to get some scratch building mentality flowing.

thanks for all the positive words
