Honey Comb Radiator
Cut discarded ballpoint-pen refills into 3/8-inch pieces, thread them onto a wire and spray them with copper paint. Then, glue them into your model’s radiator duct. After the glue has dried, paint them once more with a “dirtied” copper wash. This honeycomb radiator would look very convincing on a 1/6-scale (or larger) Curtiss P-6E or Hawker Fury.
