They make the radars and antennas in clear now; did you
opt for white so as to alleviate any possible distraction
with the interior construction?

Actually, I don’t have any in clear, so white was my only choice. :) I was also
afraid that anything translucent wouldn’t show up very well. Although I like
Sven’s suggestion of chrome; I have a few of those and might try them out to see
how they look...

My only complaint is the wheels, but I understand there’s not
much you can do at that scale. Awesome job. Keep it up.

Yes, i certainly agree. There’s a small $15 racers set that has wheels slightly
larger ... about a 5 stud radius, they look like this:

The wheels that I used are just under 4 studs.

I may go out and buy that racers set to see how well the wheels fare.
