109 Radiator and Housing

Been working on the 109 all day and made some good progress. Wings are together with just PE flaps to add, the tail is also together. Here I'll show how I upgraded the Kit Under Wing Radiator and Housing.
First we have to cut out the molded in (movable surface) to make way for the PE part, I'm supposed  to also sand flat the Grilles.
I'm going to leave the Grilles unsanded as it adds a little depth to the finished look of them, here also is the replacement PE movable surface with the edges folded.
Sorry about using the flash but It's the only way you can see the finished Grille in place, I've also added a piece of stretched sprue as the brace, I was supposed to use wire but I thought this looked better.
And the finished piece, even though I'm using the PE Detail Sets theres still some detail missing that is on the real 109. I'll have a think about how to add it.
Andy.
