I wans't expecting gloss black & it looks good!  For a first time attempt you've got a very good finish, especially considering this is a kitbash!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Wicked!!! :thumbsup: :wub:

Looks like a cross between a Lockheed Lancer (in planform) and a FireFox.

The black, glossy paint suits her good. Like a sexy top model in black leather........ :wub:

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Looks brilliant in Gloss black, also very menacing to boot...

Yes - an amazing result! Before painting it looked brutal and thuggish, now it looks sleek and menacing :thumbsup:

Thank Y'all very much. To be honest, I've been trying to make something is as striking to me as much as the Firefox was in the movie or the look the "MiGs" in Topgun. I've started three of these that didn't pan out, so I went in a different direction and you know know them by other names. I think the decals are just gonna make this one jump!

Eddie, I had to put my sunglasses on to look at that. It is a real knockout. Can't wait to see it on its legs, or are you going for an in-flight display?  (edit) Oh wait, I checked that prior pics and it IS on its legs. See, that glare really did blind me. :cheers:
