Here's a comparison to the prototype and model. No need to do anything other than glue the plastic rod down.

Is it live or memorex? The only thing giving it away is that Kadee spring. Nice details!

Nice. What solvent cement are you using for styrene joints?  I wouldn't expect the shape to change that much with plain MEK.

Tamiya Ultra thin cement.

Hmmm.  Modern (AI, limited, revenue focused) web search won't show me the actual MSDS. One post says Tamiya thin cement is 50% acetone, 50% butyl acetate, another says methyl isobutyl ketone.
