Thanks, Gotham and Papermate. The air intake doesn't look bad - either because or in spite of my not having completely blackened the intake area. I forgot to do so and hadn't noticed until I saw the image. But the blackened tabs against the white give the impression (to me at least) of weathering.
Your clean, precise builds are an inspiration, Papermate, and I have learned a lot from reading through your threads, but still lack the hand skills. Even at my age, I keep hoping that they will improve through practice.
