Congrats.. very nice looking

Thank you very much!

OK, the little details then. The antennas are really guitar strings. They're a little thicker than I would have liked but that was the smallest wound guitar string I had.

The front antenna is the string with the wound part, and the wound part was painted chrome silver from a Gundam marker. The aft antenna is just a piece of guitar string painted black and the thicker bottom part is made by dipping the end of the wire in superglue a few times. The tops of the antennas are just a small drop of enamel black paint applied with a toothpick.



The hood pins are aftermarket photoetched parts from Crazy Modeler, nothing more.





There is nothing special about the wheelnuts - just detailed the kit wheels with silver and a sharpened toothpick.

Thanks! It really isn't perfect but thankfully camera hides the flaws I am quite happy with it, though, especially considering when I painted the thing.

Best,
