Default Source for 'scale' louvers!

Building an Su-27 which has all kinds of louvers, and couldn't figure out how to replicate them in small scale. I went to Lowe's today and in the roofing area they had vent louvers of different sizes. Found an aluminum Wall Louver about 14" X 24" which has row after row of tiny louvers on the underside. By cutting them out, I can get 'panels' of louvers about 2" long X 1 3/8" wide, or any combination of lengths. The louver cost me $10 and change for probably 50 small scale louvers!

Can you post some pictures. This may be a solution for my Sukhoi!

Haven't figured out how to upload pics here, maybe you can direct me to the 'how to'-I'll search myself for an answer.

Cheap camera! The first pic is showing '2' panels equalling 4" . This pic should show the whole wall louver.
