I've used a black wash on the radiator and added a hose joint to the pipe.
The moulded clamps were filed off and I used a blue heat shrink sleeve ( plus my wifes hairdryer ) together with PE hose clamps. A bit fiddly but I like the result.

I've seen that Dan on the UK forum has got some great ideas for some extra detail and i'm going to give some of them a go.(if my skills permit  ).
Using the supplied plastic part as a template I cut a mesh piece and punched a hole through. A cut-down eyelet was glued on to clean up the hole.
Not a very visible part of the final model but I'm pleased with the detail.

I don't know why the monocoque looks so grey in the picture. it must be the camera flash giving that effect. RM1 attached the following image(s):

Well done on your improvements they look great! How are you getting your deliveries that you have received number 13? I subscribed when the build first appeared and haven't had a delivery this whole year so far - I'm only upto issue 8. When I call them they tell me they don't have any stock????

Sorry to hear that Grant. My deliveries have been very good.
I've sent you a PM.

This weeks work was the front dampers. I inked them as suggested in the instructions and replaced the screw "L" with a brass 1.4 x 8mm bolt from scale hardware. RM1 attached the following image(s):
