This pair of radiators is specifically designed for the Heljan OO Scale Class 26, 27, 33/0, and 33/1 locomotives, allowing you to accurately replicate the recessed radiators seen on these models. These parts are ideal for modelers who wish to enhance the detail of their rolling stock with more realistic features.
Please note, this radiator kit is **not compatible** with the Class 33/2 “Slim Jim” due to insufficient clearance between the body and chassis block, so it’s only suitable for the Class 26, 27, and the 33/0 and 33/1 variants.
Made from high-quality unpainted resin, the radiators can be painted using acrylic or enamel paints to match your desired livery or weathered look. Once painted, they can be securely glued to the model using cyanoacrylate (superglue) or epoxy resin adhesives, ensuring a solid bond.
For installation, it’s important to note that cutting the bodyshell is required to fit these radiators. This modification will allow you to achieve the precise recessed look that characterizes these locomotives. The etched grilles needed for the radiators are not included in the kit but can be sourced separately from Shawplan’s ‘Extreme Etchings’ range, providing even more detail for the final model.
This upgrade is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance the accuracy and realism of their Class 26, 27, 33/0 or 33/1 models. The high-quality resin parts and attention to detail make this a must-have for any enthusiast looking to bring their locomotive to life.
