Nice result in the end. Looks good.

Did you have any issue with front right height? I remember when I built mine, the front wing endplates were touching the floor, for some reason the front was sitting a little too low. I think someone else here wrote about it before.
As for your build, very nice indeed, the extra decals did the trick, I love the yellow kevlar ones, stunning detail.

When I put the wheels on the left front and right rear weren't touching the ground. I rested a 5lb. weight on them for maybe an hour and it seems to have corrected that problem. I barely had a chance to take, shrink and post that one pic before going to work, so i'm not sure about the height. And at this moment i'm at work......But now i'm home. Taken a look and it looks pretty spot on to me.
