Some of the repop mounting abilities are quite lacking but the main decision will be up to you and your budget. Depending on what pieces you are lacking you will probably end up spending double for NOS (if not triple) than what you would pay for repop stuff.

Now... here's my recommendation. Become a site supporter for $25, help the site that supports your hobby, and then place WTB (want to buy) ads for the NOS parts you need. There's not better source for parts than this site, guaranteed.

By the way... you have made some great progress on the project; nice work!
