There’s almost nothing on it.
I think it’s more of the angle of the picture and the lighting than anything else.

Iridescent acrylic sheet cut to fit the openings. I struggled unsuccessfully to get small strips of iridescent Mylar to stick to anything and still present even a near optically smooth surface. What is available is the same Mylar bonded to the acrylic but much better than I could ever manage.
Cut strips on a bandsaw & finished to size in my mini mill
The real thing

Finished up a commission model for a local collector. Tamiya’s 1/48 A-10A, turned out pretty well. Though it would never have used the triple launcher for the Mavericks, it was what was specified.
