This is my attempt at a 30th Skystriker painted up to a Thundercracker with stickers from Toyhax. I am need of a canopy though as my attempts to dye the canopy went exactly as you would have expected them to go. This is my first attempt at painting a joe product, this was done with Krylon for the blue and I have to find the silver paint to tell you whice one I used for that. I painted the intakes silver before the stickers came and I kinda like how they extend past the stickers. I intend to find some small LED kits that I can put in the engines for a glowing effect to simulate the engine burn.

Looks great! My plan is to do a Thundercracker and Skywarp. This might be my inspiration to get started.

I have 9 Skystrikers and never get tired of looking at other tankers' versions. Great job!

Thanks guys! Next one I think will be a Skywarp, I might use one of the Silent Strike skystrikers since it is already black. Anyone have information on LED kits for engines?

So, this one was painted with a Rustoleum colorshift paint over a flat black primer on a silent strike skystriker. I chromed the exhaust ports on the engines as well as the wiring panels (not shown here). The colorshift flips between a purple and a blue depending on the angle the light is hitting it, so I thought it would be neat for a Skywarp. I don't know if the pictures show the difference in colors, they are hard to capture on camera. It looks sort of like the mystic color from the old Mazda Miatas of the late 90s. I topped it off with a Krylon clear coating and stickers on top of that from Toyhax. What do you guys think of using a color like this instead of black? I didn't put the Skywarp stickers on yet (other than the D-23) in case I wanted to name it something else.
