Les,

that's beatiful work! Your details, especially on the HGA-feedhorn are great!
I know I shouldn't nitpick, but there's one thing you could correct fairly easily: The sunshade below the HGA feed is closed at the bottom, the inside is red and the outside is white. As I remember, it protected the feedhorn from the focused light which is reflected from the bright HGA dish. Communication quality is not influenced because it is transmitted through the sunshade material (I hope I didn't memorize something wrong, if I did, please someone correct me!). You should be able to get the correct outline for the part by printing this part of my drawing at 200% and fold it on the dashed line.

I'm very happy that my drawing is of help for you!

Best regards,
Thorsten
