You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

No pics...
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. Youll note the authentic spiderweb around the prop and exhaust stub.
The flat coat is still a little wet in these photos. I should get some better more professional shots.
The decals silvered so bad on the wings, even where i had full gloss, they silvered over. Im not sure what i did wrong there. Oh well.

I like that. The schemes with the oversized codes are cool.
