This is incredible
Most of the parts seem to have been photoetched-manufactured… the prime method (for the last 30+ years) for tricking out static model cars, tanks, and airplanes). Here, though, the trick-outs are actually the kits!

I bought a really cool stag beetle kit from them a while back.

When I look at Musk’s Starship, I see another streamliner…
