I like the uncovered tire, though your cover is hard to beat. Have you thought about holding the spare on with straps or bungie cord? Regarsless, your doing a great job.
What a treat (and Halloweens not even here yet) to watch your progress. i have understood all you have said about how you are doing this, well almost-sorta- I think.😁. Enjoyng the build.
Very well done. You captured the look. I always have been impressed with most of the Piro models I've built There have been some that were "of the 1960s" manufacturing style. But even those were workable.

Quite a bit of information given here, some of which I never knew about or didn't understand.
However, Michelle, I now have you to blame er thank for Lightfoots song running in my head for the rest of the day 😁
A model that has so much glue it looks like the modeler blew up a glue tube on it. Also an older model that was previously owned by someone else and acquired for rehabilation or for parts.
