Weird Graphical Issue when using radiators

I'm not entirely sure how to explain this issue, so I've included some screenshots to make the process easier.

When I try to use the attached ship, and launch from the Space Hangar, I get the attached graphical issue occurring.

Untitled Space Craft.loadmeta.txt
Untitled Space Craft.craft.txt

If I remove the radiator and engines, I don't get the issue. If I remove just the engines and try to launch using the thermal rocket, I get the graphical issue.

When I try and use the tracking station view, I do not see any planets or other ships either. Sometimes, later on the game may crash,

This is a bit of a wierd issue. I don't have any other planet expansion mods installed. I'll continue trying different things to see if I can work out more about what the issue actually is.

And the associated KSP.log. It doesn't look that useful though

What is the graphical issue? I have no idea what this problem is and I have never heard from this before. So I think it unlicky related to KSP but rather some interaction with sthe stock partModules present on the KSPIE parts with another mod you have installed.

The graphical issue is that screenshot should be the Airplane strip at KSC, not a black screen. It happens either straight after hitting the launch button, or sometimes after staging to launch the engines.

As for other mods I have installed:

Interstellar
Kerbal Engineer Redux
Global Construction
Configurable Containers
Mechjeb2
ScanSAT
Thrust Controlled Avionics
X Science

I'm not sure which would be likely to be interacting with KSPIE in such a way.

I managed to trigger the KSC / black screen disappearing upon starting engines again, and this time there was a useful log entry.

The "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" makes me think this is related to / duplicate of #589

I'm using the latest version of tweakscale for what it's worth.
