Title: Sky Streak rides again!
Post by: Larry Renger on July 05, 2012, 05:01:20 PM

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.  LL~ 

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...   ~^
