End result. The cap was a small circular piece of brass that was punched out and glued on top of a small ring to give it depth. Not bad, eh?

The Vintage Aviator revealed that only on the left side was the turnbuckle. Like the small turnbuckles used in the cockpit area, I cut small sections out of .006" brass tubing and used small really tiny beads. To thread them back over themselves was a challenge.

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.
