    Do you think they will offer different paint schemes? I do like the grey color that I have seen in the videos and pictures, but if they offered bold contrasting colors, that would set this monster apart from the rest in the foamy world of the warbird.

      That second shot is sick. I am definitely painting mine that very livery.

              Good news with the Arctic Aggressor livery, you don't even need airbrush as the camo is all clean hard edges. But an airbrush is a must for the weathering value alone. :)

                Good point! In fact converting the base gray with darker gray and black should be relatively easy to do. Can't wait!

                  Nothing makes a model or rc plane look better than effective preshading. NOTHING. lol I feel that strongly about it ;)
