One thing on your weathering - the rams of the hydraulic cylinders should be very shiny/bright, they don't gather dirt as there are wipers on the seals to keep them clean so they don't destroy the seals and leak.



I know you have a lot of time into this but your starting price is really high. Unless you do this as a business and they are custom done so the person that owns it knows the price up front you will never be able to recover your costs to do these. Ask me how I know. Also with this being a very small model most people shy away from them; if this was a 1:25 scale or larger you would have a bigger market to appeal to.



It is a great looking model though.
