I can't tell how much of the underside has been ground down, particularly on the tank topper, but the rest looks fine.

It also looks like there's some bubbles and pin holes in the casts. You should try and fill those with apoxiesculpt or other filler putties.

I didnt really sand the underside as much, just the edges on everything. I was planning on using rustoleum sandable filler primer for the little pin holes and bubbles.

Here is everything trimmed and edges lightly sanded.

Here are the profiles of the tank toppers. The front areas are a little thicker than the back areas.

I think the FL heat warped the second one, so I will have to flatten it back out with my heat gun.

Yeah, that's quite warped and would need to be straightened out. Same with the vertical vanes as well.

Can you see the faint ridge along the side edge? That's about the thickness that the tank topper should be. It's something around 1/8" in thickness.

Ok that gives me something to work on this week. I'll see what I can do. If it proves to be too much to get it looking right, I can always order from studio creations.
