Fuselage Development
With the engine and cockpit sections largely complete, various parts related to the radiator and oil cooler assemblies were installed. These consisted of about 15 parts which needed to be integrated and installed before the fuselage halves were glued together. Fit is excellent, though I made life a little complicated for myself by adding various details to the engine because clearances were compromised a bit.
Once the fuselage was put together, various engine cooling system parts were installed. Again, fit was superb. With these pieces in place, all that remain before moving on to the wings and empennage are the upper structural frame above the engine and some pipe and wire harness details here and there, not to mention additional grime, oil, and grease added to the new engine installed parts. So far, so good!
