Hey everyone, so with my recent purchase of the Sky Striker being that I haven't bought any joes since may I had to see one of these in person. I must say it is quite an impressive toy being that I never owned one as a child. Anyways once I had the item out of package and in my hands I seemed to notice one thing, how bland this vehicle looks. So I took some of my nifty paint markers and started to pen in the detail lines. I still have planned to add some led's in the afterburners (I am not trying to copy fireflyed I am just amazed by his work I give the idea to him and full credit towards any LED customizing to a vehicle) I do want a spotlight on the front to light up as well as the afterburners. I am not going too far into the detail of the LED's I just want them to light up nothing special. take a look at what I've done so-far, tell me what you think or ideas/suggestions.
Thanks for looking.

I am noticing a distinct lack of "NO STEP" stickers, so this is automatically a FAILURE...
...just kidding, it looks really good! Can't wait to see what it looks like with the LEDs in the engines. I want to do that with mine but have to figure out where to hide the batteries, etc. I'm not very mechanically inclined. |

I did this to mine a few days ago. I used one of my fine tip Gundam markers. You can usually clean up with an eraser, but the rough texture of the skystriker makes it more difficult to clean up any mess.
