It's nice to see someone so excited about a model project.
It's been a few years for me and they are so expensive to just sit in the original boxes they came in and never put them together, which I did, but then I made the mistake of putting them in a storage unit when I moved.
If you don't pay the storage fee after a few months the contents belongs to them.
Thank you for your input and your excitement to detail.
Perhaps you should make a YouTube video too
