Shouldn't it be 145UA, not 143?

Stabs look more accurately painted than 99.9% of 747 models out there. Silver should taper a bit more though--too much silver at the tip.

Hmmn--hard to tell at this angle, but the stabs look mounted high. Of course, stab trim will affect the angle, but the previous TWA twin-stripe release looked spot-on for the "normal" stab angle. Really need a sideview to tell if it's due to the actual height they're attached at or the angle they're mounted at---either way it looks different from the previous mold.
