Sorry, had to do it. ;D  BdaB sent me a F7F sometime back and I finally found inspiration in the shape of those floor protectors that go under furniture legs. I thought I'd make it an eye in the sky. :)

After an eventful past few weeks, I'm slowly getting back to the bench. This one has the potential for the least amount of problems, so I'm concentrating on it for a while. Did a mod on the tail for a little E-2 inspiration. ;D

Look behind you!

The mod you made to the tail is truly inspired, Eddie and makes this bird look like it has all the right stuff!

Have to admit, the triple tail looks wicked on the bird, Eddie.
