Hi guys,

I’m on with my 1/16 M16 build and I’ve come up with a problem… well… it’s more of a case of… how the hell does it fit??

It’s the radiator. First things first. as there’s no detailing on the front, what are those who are building/built this thing use for detaining the radiator, and second, how does it fit onto the chassis. Call me an idiot but I just don’t seem to be able to work it out. It’s probably really simple, but some advice would be helpful.

Thanks

James

I don’t have this kit, but I’m doing the 1:35 Dragon. Remember that the Radiator mounts on an angle to the frame.

For the no detail issue, you could cut some “appropriate scale” screen for the front.
