Hi,
here's the second part, done most of the rework: lowering the running gear, deletion of the vision ring and the addition of the round VSS-1 searchlight. I also cut away a secion of the fenders and replaced the right rear fender with lead foil to simulate realisctic bending of it. I still have a couple of things t do left, mainly painting and doing a little dio around the kit.
Here's two pics:

thanks guys,
DJ, I used copper wire for the antennas, drilled out the kits mounts and simply inserted them from the top, just needs a really small drill and #:-)
