Wow - great paint effects Ron!  :-*

Is the ink translucent? If so, I wonder what it would look like over a metallic base coat....

Would probably look pretty cool. It definitely affects the color depending on base coat.

OH NO!!!! IT'S THE TOE!!!! RUN!!!! >:D

Frankly, the profile photo did it for me. It's sleeker and sportier than I thought. And you answered my undying question: Why in God's name didn't they put a teardrop canopy on the X-Wing?

Because it looks sooooo cool that nobody would have paid attention to the movie :-* :-* :-*

Thanks y'all :-*
Beware the TOE >:D
Actually Rafa they did start out with rounder looking craft on the original film but the state of the art filming techniques back then would make the countours disappear into the background blue screens. That is why everything is all boxes and hard angles. You might notice that most of the stuff in the newer films has rounder contours.

Not even a "Don't mess with Texas" bumper sticker?  >:D    ;)   ;D   Decals always add that extra detail that makes it come alive.  :)
