Nice detail, even did the automatic choke.
I have one suggestion, the exposed v of the pulleys should be silver or gunmetal to simulate the belt wearing the paint off the pulley groove.
As one of the early group of Moonlight'rs, I was wondering how Jim Wood is doing.
His eyes were getting bad when I was last active in the club.
Many years ago I sponsored the engineering award for a few of the contests.
Here's some pics, be advised that I took my camera with the intention of saving LOTS of modeling ideas so there will be pics that I/we can use for reference:
I just had a thought, I have seen a painter friend use colored pencils during his airbrush work, give that a try, or maybe some fine tipped markers...try a spoon test to see if you can spray clear over marker ink.
My advice would be to work it till you're happy with it but to remember that not all pirate maps were drawn by master cartographers.
Great work on this build.
a long time ago I saw that wire mesh was used in transmission filters, I never got around to chasing down one to tear it apart but what I did see was very fine mesh and may suitable if you can salvage some.
I delivered papers to a dealership that had a row of superbirds parked front and center street-side, at least one in every color that was made at that time.
it was an awesome sight for a gearhead that was getting a drivers license real soon.
I'm planning on going, gonna bring my camera so I can store up some modeling ideas/concepts (and count rivets).
The only model I have complete right now has already trophied and I'm not a trophy whore so I'm just gonna be a spectator.
That's a lot of good work, nice job on the engine.
I suggest in the future not to flock the whole interior, texture contrasts almost always look more interesting to the eyes.
Don't forget to run the lines from the tanks thru a selector valve before you hook up to the fuel block.
