Thanks ATJOE,
I love changing the colors around. Keeping the layout but trying new color schemes. You'll find the more you're here the more you'll pickup from others.

nice work!
If pigs had wings and could fly....would they get stuck in trees??

These all look really nice. Great work and great imagination on them all. I'm almost to the end of my Interceptor E build. As soon as I am done I will get it posted on here. It is a standard kit but slightly to highly modified.

That's an incredible picture. It looks like it could be a real spacecraft.Originally Posted by mperdue

I give you... AIRWOLF Interceptor... (Google Airwolf for those that don't know)
Dual deployment, plywood fins, Garmin GPS tracker in nose, two interchangeable motor mounts (24-29mm) with retention. First flight on an H128 was 1911 ft at 450 mph.
Next flight will be on a CTI Pro 24 6 grain Green.

I figured I'd want to take a bunch of pics of this rare bird before it's first flight today - well, because... you know how things can go. I dug this one out of my attic after buying it on special at a Hobby Lobby back in the 90's... thankfully I never built it as a teen!!
Things were going great and the rocket was looking awesome, up until I shot the first coat of clear. It started to bead up on the decals... so I'm not sure why it was doing that. It literally made me sick to my stomach after all the work I did on it.I used water and a drop of dishsoap a few weeks ago when I applied the decals and then after it was too late, I realized I didn't wipe down the rocket with much more than a damp towel before clear coating to remove dust. I'm assuming some of the dishsoap residue may have done it? Live and learn I guess, right? If she survives some flights today, I'll come back and wet sand the clear after a few weeks to make sure it's good and hard and get it all smooth and uniform, then shoot one more coat to make it look good.
I did take a lot of pics during the build with the intention of doing a build thread, but since it's an OOP kit, I figured, what was the point?
Here's some pics:
