thank you for your support i means a lot to me.
I think i made a mistake when choosing the material for the wiring, i used common thread but glued it and then painted instead of properly securing it and painting so that it wouldn't be all twisted when dried as it is lol seems it landed straight from a combat mission. I have learnt my lesson and won't make the same mistake again.
I was planning to go for the AEC Routemaster next but i'll have to delay until i manage to buy the LED's so next build will be the 1:25 revell Kenworth W900 as soon as i complete the sabre and the HS-126 and clear the workbench.

no worries, i already have the paint that matches exactly the body but on this one i wanted to stay loyal to what it really was. I'll just carry on searching for the door green 🙂
