I am going to be restoring an original Skystriker myself. What's your secret to getting them to look so clean? The ones you have look great.

I take them totally apart, remove all the old stickers, and just wash them with dish soap and water. That seems to work best. I've restored 5 in total so far doing this.

Oh, there are ways. Wonderful, clever, non-destructive, drop-in ways...

Another vote for 3.

One landing, one parked, one taking off.

I appreciate you saying that. Not to hijack this thread, but I'm dying to see more shots of how your Skystrikers came out. Please PM me some photos some time if you don't mind.

Currently, my U.S.S. Flagg is being overtaken with 6" figures.

I'd say 2 or 3.
