Finally finished this one off. Started it last Summer and it sat idle for many months. I painted it a few weeks ago, in "Grape" aggressor scheme, but hated it. So, I went with the boxart scheme. I had originally intended to go with canopies closed, but the canopy doesn't look quite right...just a little short, so I changed out some parts and opened 'er up.

Overall....not a bad kit, but the parts breakdown means a TON of rescribing for all those tiny panels on the belly centerline. I'd give it an "OK".

Is that HO in a black scheme? Or dark blue???

That slim lines in a black suit is a real eyecatcher. It lets the panellines disappear a bit, though.

Nice picture, Owl. I like friendly soldiers.

I've always loved the elegant sleek lines of the Talon.
And the black livery truly emphasises the Talon's poshness. She's a cutie.

@OWL
That Talon black goes very well with the ABU.
