Thanks! One big reason I do "old school" is that the resin correction kits cost quite a bit and my money is pretty limited (the model was on sale for 20 bucks, so I snagged it for my birthday last March). But also, it's a challenge to find ways to do these things with the materials I already have on hand.
How much can I accomplish with the little I have? That's the thing!
Sometimes, the old ways are best. Imperfectly handcrafted with love and care.

That is absolutely beautiful! We’ll done sir. I get it, I feel the same way, it’s very satisfying to take an older kit and do home made additions, it makes the model uniquely yours

Great work, nothing "old school" about it. I'm 54-years old and if actually building your own is "old school"...Thanks!

One aftermarket set you might want from here;
—might be JTR-065 Bussards, with JTR-042 end caps.
Seeing that the 1/650 nacelles crowd the saucer…I hope some kind soul among you makes a snap-on forward pylon/secondary hull nose extension…or at least cut down the dorsal so the saucer is lower and the nacelles higher for a souped up, hot-rod look.
