Very nice indeed: all you've got to find now is a couple of cast sandbox tops!
I did the radiator on mine (many years ago) by sandwiching alternate wider and narrower strips of Plastikard and then adding the top, bottom and sides. Running a saw across the "matrix" produced a very convincing effect!

Ruston and other models all sold it was made from a sheet of brass from a boot sale which i paid a pound for.
I had intended to solder it together ,that did not work as i was unable to solder so i used resin glue
