About those roofwalks,That is some of the finest plastic molding I have ever seen.Since I model modern times I cut them up (with a fresh #11) to make crossover platforms on the ends of the cars.
Yeah, especially for such an inexpensive car, they're very nicely-done. With a little tweaking of the details, an authentic paint and lettering job, and some weathering, they look really great.
