First, I'd like to thank Apacolypse for inspiring me with his awesome custom, and his help getting me going in the right direction to build my own SkyStriker
My son, Austin helped and had a great deal to do with this over the last month or so, he helped paint, sand, and helped peel the labels I cut. We did leave off some decals, I may add a couple more "no step" stickers, but I'm please with the overall appearance, since the labels were designed to fit the original SkyStriker, the stripes had to be cut to fit appropriately, and around the canopy did not come out as good as I had hoped, but not too bad for my first 'Joe custom A great father/son experience for sure. The Elite Operations FA/18 Hornet was completely disassembled for this custom. The paint was Krylon Fusion gloss white, with a Matte clear topcoat for durability. Custom stickers by the one and only J. Ruben. Comments/crits welcome

Looks great! I've wanted to do this but haven't been able to track one down - plus the funds are a little given all the 25th goodness coming out.

No criticisms at all; looks great.
So disassembled plane is 4 pieces? I have one of these sitting in my closet, and I'm going to have to paint it. I'm surprised these things are even still on the shelves at TRU, since they produce such great looking modern Skystrikers. Great job again. |

Wow, that's much better than my first Joe custom I made last year. Very sharp looking! You're on your way to becoming a professional!
