Okay, I've gotten a little bit further with the vents on the condenser tank. I'm going to be painting this all a dark rusted brown, so I took a couple of shots while you can still see the vents clearly. It kind of reminds me of a flute somehow. Maybe it's the size.

To make the 12 vents uniform size, and because I hate repetitive chores, I hit on a clever little plan.
I used a hole punch to punch them out of a piece of strip styrene, then just filed the corners a little to smooth them. They're not perfect, but once it's painted i think they'll be fine.
cheers
