Never disappointed.
Q: what did you make the spark plug leads from?
Russell,
Glad you liked what you saw. I've actually fixed all the paint issues on the shocks, then I realized that once the tires/wheels go on, you'll never see them.
The spark plug wires are from a 4 color set of 1/24 scale ignition wires from HLJ. As I run out of various wires and cables my new resource is Detail Masters and my local big box Arts & Crafts store: AC Moore.

always the risk with any build Joel: we could spend hours, days even, on fine details only for them to hidden in the final result. Seen many an aircraft build suffering that
Thank you for the tip about the spark plug wires: ordered from my LHS
Russell,
Tell me about it. When I was into military aircraft, detailing cockpits and wheel wells was basically just for the posting of build updates, as none of that work would ever be seen on my display shelves especially as all the aircraft models are kept in plastic cases.
Cars are really different in some cases, but similar in others. The time I spent detailing the interior of the Ferrari P330 P415 will be never seen again, but I'm finding that some cars I display with the engine cover off like the 956 Porsche, and the bottoms do show in the gloss black display bases, or even a small mirror placed under the car. Still a ton of satisfying fun for this old timer.
