So here we are, underwing radiators going on. Note, this is the last view with the original spinner. Too short, too pointy.

I am 7.5 hours into the build at this stage
 
Sorry gents! Too busy with the 1:1 scale home summer upkeep and minor repairs and with a rental I have been in the process of buying the last few weeks.
Bear with me.... I am chomping at the bit to get back to my projects; the Gustav, the FW and the really tiny 1/285 scale stuff
