Good job so far!
Revell is the only company it seems that makes diecast models that are worth owning and building. They kept the body simple, didn't dumb it down w/silly opening doors w/monster hinges. Everything else is engineered like a plastic kit.
More to the point, this diecast model thoroughly destroys AMT's incredibly poor Eclipse which came out long after Revell's kit. The AMT model is one of the worst wastes of tooling and styrene, yet nobody on the business end seems to care...it's just about milking the license for $$, accuracy be damned. Let's just say I don't buy much of anything AMT any more.
And what does Revell do? They're taking this model, and making a plastic body for it.
Vote w/your wallet. Revell cares about their buyers, they concentrate on making profits by making good products. AMT/RC2 cares only about making money from licensed products, they don't care if the products are inaccurate if they think they will sell regardless.
