Due to a series of unfortunate events, the Sky Streak needed some repair and a thorough refinishing.

Here is the result. The stars are chrome, and the lettering gold.

I agree, very nice job. That plane just looks mean. I can't wait until Dan Banjock finishes his in the Skunk Works. Ken

Any idea as to the size he intends? I would put it around 1000 sq.in. if I was doing it!

And maybe Impervium spars with Unavailabilium sheeting and capstrips. Adamantium veil as a strengthener might be nice.

Some sort of 4th dimensional woven string film for covering. Followed by Stasis Field paint. (Checkered, of course)

That should survive the first flights.

Keep us posted!

Don't ya' just wish we could get Banjock out here to the Left Coast for a while? Sure would help liven things up!

Thanks for the compliments. I really do think I blew it on the original color scheme. I can't at the moment think of where it might look good, even on an Edsel.

I toyed with the idea of redoing it all in Da-glo colors, and my wife, usually very concervative, thinks I should have. Maybe on another model...
