Well…this is one of those builds that just petered out instead of ending when I’d planned.
Overcoating the decals would have ruined the metal sheen. And with the problems up to now I wasn’t excited about taking it further. Then life got in the way of bench time for a few months.
I ended up giving it to a coworker headed to a new job in Philadelphia. Here it is all boxed up. He’s happy and I don’t have to look at it anymore.
