I think you will enjoy this build! May I suggest to place the cockpit segments into the fuselage halves very carefully and then glue the halves together, the result will be less aggravating. http://www.letletlet-warplanes.com/forum/makete-aviona-aircraft-modeling/hasegawa-typhoon-1b/

Enjoy building, I will enjoy watching!!

No matter of cooler puzzle, the same kit is more then easy to build

In all the research I did, the photo you have is the only version of radiator/oil cooler I saw. The old kit part was missing the four cross-braces and I added them.
