Engine and Radiator installed, I will add the PE radiator screen later in the build to protect if during further assembly. I removed the chrome plating on the radiator housing and repainted in with Vallejo Metallic silver as I thought it looked more natural, The seam on top will be covered with a PE part with will be installed with the screen. The decal for the number 18 was applied and then toned down to get the radiator texture with Vallejo black wash,

Thank you George no like the frame it is molded in the gull grey stipulated in the instructions I just polished the glue seams most of it will be hidden under the body when complete. I will paint the straps black using a Poscar paint marker.
