Thanks everyone! The wheel rim was scratched with boxwood and aluminum earlier in the thread. I used an insect pin for the turn lever and a Hiro cloissonne for the horn button. The wheel center and etched spokes came in the Gunze kit and were filed down to look closer to scale(though still too big!).

Here is my latest tangent..It's a headliner made from polyester dress liner building on a fabric tape method I saw Alex do. I'm using foil adhesive to hold it down and it's going better than expected. The foil adhesive is just agressive enough to hold it but allows you to peel it back and reposition. Back to the build....

Alamo Squadron put on a great show Alex. The Ferrari SWB took 1st in Exotics Category and Best Automotive against some stiff competition. Considering how much I rushed the last part of this build I'm lucky to have done so well. Best of Show went to a Japanese aircraft called a Shinden.

My polyester fabric for the headliner kinda bit me in the buttocks as well. Some frayed strands started showing up in the rear window at the show. I need to somehow stabilize the cut edges or just try something different.

Norm is the best resin producer I've ever seen but his marketing is non-existent. He doesn't have a website or a catalog. But if you do a search of the company name you can find photo's of his offerings sprinkled around the internet. According to Norm, "everything is available".
