Update:
My custom SFC are installed. I used two different sizes of solder wire. Paint finish ( I use acrylics mostly) has a nice quality when used with solder wire, it looks almost as powder coating.
Also an example of the seat belt material shown for reference.

Update: Cone filters done.
Rapid mock up with engine. So far the throttle body seems to maych perfectly with the hose.

What you think?
Ive decided to build a truck rig as a transport for the model and make the whole thing like a diorama of sorts. I found a nice discontinues 1/24 AMC Peterbilt Wrecker that can be easily modified to work as a transport. If there is enough interest I can continue thread including the truck and diorama build, if not I will stop once the TA model is complete.
Thanks for looking.
