I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Left a portion of the end a bit loose on purpose to give it the illusion of the cable holding it down.

Close up photos of the real plane revealed the radiator had a strap that was tied down with a cable. Used the pin to help glue on the edge of the strap.

Added some super glue to a pin so I could exercise better control where it wanted it to go.

Forgot to show how I approached the detailing of the top portion of the radiator. I just used Spacklin Compound. This is in its rough shape just after I pulled off the masking tape while it was still wet.

The bottom of the radiator cover has been glued to the underside of the fuselage and top has been painted. Only to add just a few more accessories and this will be finished and I'll move onto the tail feathers.

All the louvers are glued in place along with the small "adjusting" rod and, if you look closely, can see a very fine wire wrapped around the wheel. Sorry about not having the louvers adjustable. It actually occurred to me to try making them adjustable, but reality hit me. I had to keep in mind, "This is only a small stick-n-tissue model." I'm currently having some problems with my ol' laptap. I've taken additional pictures, but can't seem to get them resized into my folder for future submission to this site. I'll keep trying. I sincerely thank everyone for their inputs. I've posted my response in my last post on the 6th. You guys are great.

However, when viewed from an angle, the louvers are very prominent. I could've arranged the louvers to cant downward to visually bring them out. Since this model will be given to my daughter, I have no idea where she'll be displaying it. So, decided a neutral position would be best.

Finished painting and glued in place the left side. I purposely took this picture straight-on to show how the louvers seemingly disappeared.

Not glued yet. Will paint first.

Each louver was placed evenly within the space provided by the previous ones.

In effort to maintain even distribution of the louvers, I simply filled in the spaces from the middle outwiard
