Nicely done, it's great to see one of these built! I found one in a box of built/damaged kits a few months ago, so this will also be helpful for figuring out how it's supposed to look.
This kit has abunch of weird little quirks, and is always a tough one the first time you build it. But you've done some fine work here, and if you give it a second go I can almost guarantee it won't be quite as frustrating.
