Hey Ben,Looks good, but you need to change one thing with the shape...The radiator section is the exact same as on every other Dash-8 and Dash-9...it's a sorta low-sloped triangle.Damnit, I need to find more photos to show you...hold on, I'll be right back with some...DanEdit: My apologies in advance...none of these pics show the radiator as clearly as I'd like, but hopefully you get the idea.
