Now to focus on the details and greebles for the side panels and the back end.

Now time for the tail end. I attached the plate that runs the full length of the back end.
*NOTE* At this point the builder can either continue on with all of the greebles (which is what I am doing), or can leave it "as-is".

There are tail lights that go on the back. You have two options. Option one: You can use the flat "bracket piece and put it in place and cut the lens out and put it in place over the bracket. Option two" You can use the parts that that will forge out the light fixture (that have to tope and bottom (trapezoid) shrouds) and fold the parts into shape, then put the lens in place and attach the part accordingly.

As you can see, I chose the second option.
*NOTE* This is 1:50 scale and I am using 0.22mm thick cardstock.

Yes, that is my finger to show the actual size of the light fixture.

The sticks and levers are a little bit bigger than they are supposed to be. But since they are extremely hard to build at this scale this is a compromise we all have to accept. I will port them over to the 1/32 version without re-scaling them which will look more authentic then. The larger versions will get bigger sticks. ;)
