I've been working on this since 2002. With a little luck, I'll get the decals on this weekend. I painted it in the same color grey as the Rokitflite Odyssey. They'll look cool flying alongside one another.

The Icarus looks great Bill! Keep up the good work and don't forget to post some more pics when she's decaled. :D

Very nice Bill. How did you paint the fluorescent orange so nice and even inside the open tube? Bottle paint & brush?

Other than the Alien8 from FlisKits, are all the Shrox kits now OOP? Shrox had some pretty cool designs.

I sprayed the inside of the tube with white primer, then flourescent orange, masked it off with strips of "masking" tape, then sprayed on the grey.

Shrox had some killer designs, but I think he ran into parts problems. I wish he'd just do a plan book like Pete Alway's Scale Bash. Something that detailed the parts you'd need to build one of his designs out of commonly available parts.
