Very nice! Great idea too  :wub:

Maybe you could do a special all yellow one as the USPS celebrates another victory in the Tour de Lance?  :D

How'd you do the decals btw?

Thanks for the compliments guys. :)
As for the decals I used just typical decal paper and printed them on my photo printer. Most of the decal paper was white, except for the ones on the intake.
The graphics were made by scanning the back of a stamp book and then cleaning up the artwork on my computer.  To create the "Supersonic Mail" logo, I just rearranged some of the letters on my computer.
Man, we should have cloned twenties. Jackson wouldn't have given a poo-poo.

Forgot to add, I don't have a special Lance Armstrong version planned, but if I ever start on any of my F-15 kits, I plan to take a Monogram F-15 kit, throwing on some CFTS and Travel Pods and making that into a USPS jet.  With those CFTS, it should be able to carry a lot more Travel pods than the Viper.

KD, that is FAN-bloody-TASTIC mate. Bloody well done. It's a pity the Royal Mail don't do the same thing, but then they'd be using Sopwith Camels or summat.

Sisko, quit teasing.man.... :P  :P  :P  :P

Okay, terribly late (as usual) but wanted to include my own accolades.

What a fantastic, clever idea, KD (betcha that's not for "Kraft Dinner" eh?)!!!

Please keep the pics coming.

Thanks for the comments guys.  I'll post more when I get a chance to finish those travel pods and TERS.  And KD stands for Keith Diamond btw.  Some of the guys on ARC should know me.
