I'm just loving this build! I too have seriously considered building a styrene R2- now you have me thinking again, Julien....
Did you scratch all the little vent parts too?
I didn't know Phil sold his kit. I was going to measure up all the parts but there were a LOT in there and it scared me off. I should have at least measured the basic dimensions. Oh well. The main problem was the expensive aluminium dome, but I didn't know that styrene versions were available. Very cool. I'm sure that a convincing metal effect could be achieved using two pack metallic paint and brushing effects.
