            Cripes, that is a slick scheme. Who did the decals? It looks like huge vinyl so I'm assuming Callie, but I didn't know she had a cutter that large. I'm wearing a Citizen right now. Trade?

                  The gray is from my job, I want to retire someday.
                  This was a long repaint job because I was sick half of the time and too cold in Ohio the other half. Once I get moving I can get something done in the garage.
                  The pilot should be in a little bit deeper , but , I wont change him till there is an out cry.
                  Half the pilots body was cut out and replaced with tissue paper to save weight.

                        T33jetman,
                        That is one fine machine!!!! It is impeccable, and the pilot looks fine to me! You've done a lot of hard work on that bird and I hope you gather many compliments on the job. When I see this kind of work and dedication on our projects, it makes me proud to be a member of an elite group of flyers and builders. Well done Jetman.

                          Thank you Dutchman, I too feel the same way. There are so many great modelers out there way better then me. I just feel lucky to even be on the same page as them.
                          Well you know what this means , off to the next paint job for me. I have tons of Callie Graphics in the drawer.

                                    Very nice! Are those the HobbyKing airbrakes? I believe I have the same ones that I'm planning on installing on my Bird of Time. It really needs to slow down a lot coming in for landings.

                                      I find using crow/butterfly slows this plane down well enough. I can come in at a fairly steep decent with full crow, under complete control without the plane gaining any speed in the steep decent. I have some spoilers/airbrakes that I had planned on fitting but have since decided against it as for me it doesn't warrant it.

                                        Late to the party but as others have said, simply fantastic job on your livery t33jetman. Pilot turned out great too, where did you get him? I was reading a review in Model Airplane News (they really should change their name to Horizon Hobby News but a topic for another day, lol) and it reminded me that I need to grab one of these when we get them back in stock. Looks like I am missing out on a lot of fun.

                                          Keep track of stock directly from FMS. They'll likely show stock before Horizon and you can buy directly from FMS, free shipping too.
