I saw that no one was coated with carbon the caissons of the radiators, in reality, are coated with a textured carbon fiber end, I checked the model of the McLaren MP4 / 4 scale 1/12 Model Factory Hiro, and the black parts of the radiators are carbon fiber

I made those clamps from 50 micron thick steel shim stock. I cut a strip 4.5mm wide and drilled 3 or 4 holes ( I think it was 3mm diameter ). The drilling is tricky in thin sheet so I clamped the piece between thin wood pieces, marked it out and drilled. I then rolled it around a rod to get the size and when satisfied with that I sprayed with Tamiya metallic red, lightly to get the effect I wanted.
I hope that this info helps. Looks like your build is coming along nicely.
Malc.

Malc. Clear decription Malc. Very useful help! I saw on NsxKidd' topic (i hope is a right think) that he painted to simulate this clamps. To make the 3 holes is possible to use this tools? frah2o attached the following image(s): Collection active: Lotus 97T, Audi Quattro A2, Vw Maggiolino '60

@ frah2o, yes that's an idea to use a hole punch like the one you show. Put the piece to be punched on a hard wood ( or Aluminium ) surface and you should get a clean cut. With such a thin plate there may be some distortion. I suggest that you experiment. Maybe try a strong adhesive tape over the part and punch through the two. Malc.

maurizio67 wrote:the question, which tool you used to make the hole to the inside mesh radiator? I used a hole punch like you've shown in post #45 above. Choose the same size as the hole in the plastic part. This is illustrated in post #65 in my build diary. Use a wooden block to support the mesh.
I hope that's of help.
