The paint is very nice like glass.

Just makes your build really shine.

Simply stunning. Yes

Just a word on the canopy seam. It's there because the canopy shape requires a multi-part mold. If you look at the head-on shot, you'll see the canopy sides bulge out at mid-height then come back inwards where it meets the sill. The undercut can't be molded using a simple two-part (top and bottom) mold.

Hasegawa does this a lot too.

That looks fantastic! My only criticism would be of your photos! You need to ditch that pale blue and get a neutral grey backdrop, and check the color temp setting of your camers. Other than that, spot on!
