Very cool. Did you spray the doors separately? Detecting a different depth to the paint there

That looks great, though I really like the original model, too.

I usually use tacky putty like UHU yellow tack (you can find it on amazon) to temporarily attach doors (and other body parts) to the model during the painting process. Really helps nail down the paint matching.
