'Exemplary' is a singularly appropriate term; truly a thing of beauty from tip to tip and top to bottom!

Really nice, well done!!! I like the weathering in particular, a very convincing and realistic finish.

n.b. I think the forward nose wheel door seems to have slipped, the top edge of the door should be more or less right up against the fuselage.

Holding my breath, I was able to remove the errant nose gear door, without causing any collateral damage, and relocate it to its proper location (you can also see I’ve repaired the “200” decal):

Better!

 

The root cause turned out to be a design error on ZM's fault (compounded by my inattention during assembly). The locating tabs on top of the door are too long:
