I started this model last week and looking at the photos that the author has of this model.... I can see that he painted it. So, I went and got some paints. I plan on painting the parts as I finish them, though, by necessity some parts will not be painted.

This really is beyond my expectations. This is really a bright spot in the modeling world that a company can come up with such nice models at reasonable prices. Your build is superb. It would be nice if they had a body for it, something that could be used whole, or as a cut-a-way to enhance a diorama. I'd buy a plastic case for that, to keep the dust off and preserve it.

I found a problem. I think that the parts circled in red should be mounted higher on the frame. when I mounted the torsion bars they forced this part upward almost to the point that the part wants to separate from the frame.
