Great work! I was in an ADATS battery from 1993-2001, and this build looks spot on!
If you need any reference photos, drop me a line, I'd be glad to help out.

Woaah! Very very nice, such a pleasure to see good clean scratch building. Its probably difficult but I think this is definitely one that should be cast, you're onto a winner here....
