it's one of those staring you right in the face things that you don't see, i think there will probably be a few more out there soon enough :-)

Thanks for all the positive feedback. Perhaps sometimes it's a case that you get too close to notice the obvious customs. This was one I thought about just after becoming active in this forum at the start of the year when I started to buy a few job lots of vehicles for customs. Luckily I ended up with quite a few AF-5s in various states! In hindsight, I should have sprayed the wings - those and the engines are brush painted, but I did buy some spray varnish to finish it off at the weekend. Overall the paint effect is not too bad.

Would be great to see a box. I don't have the technical ability to do such things.

Fantastic mate. I think I like this better than the original Shadowtrak.

Top marks, there mate. I'd put that in for custom of the month if I were you ;-)

Thanks Chopper . . . perhaps I will have another go after my resounding zero last month. Can't do any worse!

Yes Double-tap, the floatation ring would fit on this. I haven't added that as I was never 100% keen with that on the original AF-5. May get around to adding one at some point though.

Glad you put that in for custom of the month, I didn't realise Andy had dropped his Action Man training tower in too. The competition is much stiffer than I thought. I won't be putting mine in just yet ;-)
