WOOOOOOOOW!!!! What a great dio so far! And some of the models you have been putting in for pics has really got my attention to like the A100 and the Dodge Thunder Truck as well as the Duster, hope to see more of those soon.
Heck of a nice start there. As for colors, how about using a grey or aluminum, kind of like mine but use a lighter grey since your blue is a darker shade.
Nice build. I have seen several of these built from a brand new one to a few that had been used and abused. I can see what you mean about all of the BMF, looks like enough to drive somebody nuts LOL
