This was a practice model. I bought 2 and haven't built any in years.

Nice job. Here's a tip to really make the detail on the body pop. Bare Metal foil. Get some. Most decent hobby shops have it. The stuff has a stick backside, cut to fit and press it on and smooth it out. If you do it right it looks like chrome, stainless or gold (depending on which sheet you buy).

Here's a couple of examples. The 62 Bubble top has the window mouldings done with BMF. While both Nomads in the next pic have the fender trim done. Get a practice body and try it on there first. It takes a little practice and a VERY sharp blade on your xacto knife.
