Looks great, Ron!  Coming along very nicely.
Noticed that dial back plate waiting for reflocking on your set almost looks identical to the one on my 42-345T. Luckily that one was in nice shape, still retaining all of its chocolate brown flocking. There were a few faded spots from where light showed through the dial scale, so to even out the color, I used some dark brown spray paint that was pretty darn close to the color. Just sprayed some on a shop towel and wiped on a very light coat. Blended in perfectly.
