Thanks for all of the kind words!

This Hi Flier XL project is actually a variation on a theme. In 2012 I did a similar treatment to an Estes PSII Ventris shortly after the kit became available. Similar striping but with the payload section in navy blue and with (50) chrome adhesive film stars on the tube.

Again, really nicely done!

I have an Argent that I may refinish (it is mostly white anyway) in "patriotic" colors.

Thanks. When I return home from Raliegh, NC, I'll "consume mass quantities". (nebs, nebs)
