I've not finished the internals yet, but here is the case.
Radio came from AndiiT.
I think I may have over done it a bit with the gloss finish?

Well, I like it, that's seriously shiny! But yours is not the only one: http://zelandeth.org/oldtech/radio-d...52ac/index.htm

The colour certainly looks spot-on.

I like these mid-50s Defiants. I have one of these too, and another equally attractive one (with the same, or similar chassis).
