Wow, I never had met anybody who open.y admitted that they liked the looks of the X-32. It just goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder... :hmm:

Anyways, on New Year’s Eve here, before all the celebrating went into full swing, I had one last workbench session for 2020 and airbrushed on a coat of Future.

All ready for decals now...

:grin: Yep, I liked it - Okay so the intake was pretty bad but the rest of the jet had a charm to it. I can help thinking a service jet would have looked better - it was better than the flying Dorito at any rate.

That paint work looks superb Carlos.

Thanks Stuart. As long as you can’t see the intake, the 32 didn’t look too bad... but any angle that showed the intake... yikes! :wow:

Today, I added the decals. It wasn’t until I was applying the decals that I realized how minimal the markings were on this thing. Aside from typical stenciling, and some minimalist program markings, this aircraft is pretty plain Jane. Not even national insignia on this one!

More in a two or three days...

That is looking more betterer all the time. By the way, you should never photograph a chunky lady from behind.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks guys! Those decals just felt like such a minimal step in changing appearance once they were one... :hmm:

Hey now, some chunky ladies can have a very nicely shaped tail end for men who appreciate such things :lashed:

Most X-planes have all sorts of National and service markings. At least from the X-1 thru X-15. The later ones tend to be more colorful and “corporate” in markings. This one really is neither.
