Default 003225 - Solar Warrior

Just got this one on Sat. and am totally digging it so far. I'm currently finishing up the fins which are made up of 4 pieces so its not a boring build-that much is sure! Thanks Estes!!! Take care, Jeff S.

The original Solar Warrior was my brother-in-law's favorite Estes bird. Got any pics yet?

I was enjoying the He-111 fuselage detail goings on there, as well!

Nice work!

Default All finished!

thanks jetlag! Well, I left off the fin decals and added the yellow stripe. Krylon oxford blue was used in addition to the krylon gloss white. A few coats of future completed the painting. Thanks for looking. Take care, Jeff
