MLAS and the Fat Boys
Band name?
I had some finishing issues with the Quest MLAS and the result is a rocket to be admired from a distance. The Fat Boy is a clone, 24 mm powered, bashed from a Mega Mosquito kit. Decals by Sandman. Of course the Mega Mosquito kit came with a Mosquito kit as a bonus, and I couldn't let that go to waste, so... an MMX power Micro Fat Boy. Decals also by Sandman. Here's the Fat Boys together.

Dupli-Color metallic red. It's actually not great for decals because it's not all that smooth a surface, so these decals silvered a little — maybe some combination of clear coating and wet sanding before decals could have fixed that, I don't know.

I dunno that MLAS looks pretty darn good! Now I will have to finish mine someday
The others are great too! Like the metallic paint espically. Yes clear coat would help with the decals a good deal, been there done that. About the teeny tiny mini mosquito/ Fat boy clone, how did you get those decals? Its awesome! Oh and you mentioned the Mega Mosquito I have one its a great flyer but thinking about building another with a cluster pack |

Plus one to Ulterior Modem. Those look great. Also no shortage of creativity with the up and down scales.

I just printed 2 more.
They aren't perfect but look good from 18" away. Sorry, but that seems like the best the printers can do now.
