Thanks for the positive feedback and suggestions. A few people over here said the same thing about painting over a Russian star. I didn't even think about it. Will look into it if I change the paint scheme in the future

Thanks for the positive feedback. It has been difficult as there are none here in Australia to go and look at for reference. Pieces have been scratch built ( hinges and handles )or the net searched for parts that are similar in appearance ( front and rear lights )

It's looking Fantastic, I am glad that you are spending time to get the inside detail right. Personally I am not a fan of the exterior colour and it's too glossy but it's your toy.

Keep up the good work.

Jon
