Catwoman and 'Pod (2)

With the arrival of a usable tire, it was time to forge on. . .  My first step was to knock out the Front (Step 2 - including the back-filling of both munitions clusters, this done with Aves) and Rear (Step 3 - save for the rear break pedal) Wheel Assemblies.

The question now is: how far do I want to go to detail the "off" sides of the munitions clusters? While I was inclined to proceed with sheet plastic enhancements, careful assessment dictated otherwise: all the additional work will be essentially unseen. The model has limitations; and with that in mind, one must work within the limits of what has been provided lest we stand guilty of attempting to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. The time can be much better spent detailing the visible/exposed portions of the clusters, and perfecting the fit (e.g., flash suppressors) and finish.

More to follow. . .
