Add some screen mesh (from a repair kit) to inside the cowl intakes to really beef up the scale appeal. -

The front section of the full scale radiator. Note the recessed mesh. -

The aft section of the full scale radiator. Note the vent or louver on the outboard trailing edge. This likely opens and closes on the full scale. -

After cutting the half circle shape (before sanding). Note the plastic wall that sits aft of the front about a 1/2". Nice! -

I used a hobby knife to start cutting this wall out to allow air to pass through the entire radiator unit. I made sure to leave enough of an edge around the perimeter to allow my screen mesh to adhere to. -

This is the screen mesh I bought. It has an adhesive backing, comes in black and was PERFECT to use for this mod. I love it when something works right the first time. -

Here's the temporary flap/louver I added to the trailing edge. Looks awesome. I will get a small sheet of balsa and make it permanent.

This is the stock turbos. I call them "blobs" for good reason. Yuck. This model deserves better. -

This is the rendering of the P-30 turbos Iflytailes.com sent me with full disclosure that the real thing wasn't "As smooth" as the photo. Boy they weren't kidding. -

This is what arrived at my door. Cool in the sense that they are 3D, but wow, I had my work cut out for me. -

Here you can really see the concentric lines woven in due to the 3D printing process. -

This is the plastic housing. I had to cutout the old turbos very carefully using scissors and a dremel, and sandpaper.
