Default New Estes V2.

After years of having to scratch-build and kit bash to get a decent V2, this almost seems like cheating!

I'll have this "Pinup Girl" version and a jagged camo version that the "V2 Vixen" (a.k.a. my wife) is painting right now) at NARAM 54.

Hence:

Jeffry, be sure and stop by my booth.

Look forward to meeting you and seeing the models.

Thanks! I'm now back from the office in Cleveland and "The V2 Vixen" managed to get the "jagged" camo hand painted on this V2 before she left for Philalelphia. I'll be bringing this one to NARAM 54 also.
