Cuts made. Temporary placement. Rear deck needs to be filled in.

That’s sexy. I’m loving the level of detail, and can’t wait to see what you do with it when you paint it.

Adding those wiring details is easy peasy

I hope so! I ordered some fine brass wire to make the wiring looms for the telecommunications box; I have Albion Alloy brass tubing which I will bend and set into place for the fuel tank filler. My main concern is the seat being slightly too high; I whittled down the base it rests on last night, but I will need to keep whittling.

Beside ordering professional material I suggest to use following:
Soldering wire
Drawn polystyrene
Different copper wires from your local flower Shop
Also I Made good experience with wires off a strand from a microswitch.

Wiring... I need more of it. Can you tell me where you got the brass wiring from, Bruce? I use lead wire that's sold to fly fisherman to weight their flies. It's sold in spools but the smallest gauge is 0.010". This is much thicker than the strands of electrical wire that I also use so I have that gap between the fine electrical wire and lead wire.

John,

Here is the link. As this was a new product, I ordered two of the smaller sizes as a try out. I have to add that his customer service is incredible! He sent a personal response and shipped my order in about 30 minutes—amazing service by John Vojtech at Unique Master Models:
