Seems like the aft end of the resin station wagon's roofline is sagging much lower than it should be compared to the ref pics?

Looks uber cool! I would recommend to replace headlamps for something more authentic – plastic ones molded with front grille look too simple comparing all other stuff you've done with this masterpiece!
