well well done. the model is seemingly simple but well executed. i think my
only gripe would be your stickers. try putting clear box tape over your
stickers before you cut them and apply them to your engine. this emulates
the shineyness of lego stickers and tends to make printed colors match
better.

p.s the trick isin’t mine it’s something i learned from brian willams..

Thanks for the tip Ondrew, I was disapointed with the stickers my ink jet
produced. I am going to try using one of the laser copiers at my work at
some point as I had a much better (and shinier) match to the LEGO colours.

An alternative is inkjet vinyl sticker sheet, avaialbe in clear and white. I
find that this gives as good a look as official stickers, but the ink can be
smudges with careless handling. The stuff I use is made by Folex.
