Second, Better SR-71 Blackbird

I've built two of the Estes SR-71 Blackbird kits, this is the second one.

You know what to expect and what to avoid in a second build.
Again, I had more decal problems. The fine white grate lines broke up when they were placed on the outside engine tubes. I ended up leaving them off. I thought about using the kit stickers but decided against that.

On this one the overall gloss black is much better.
The shroud is smooth with no creases.
Right below the stars and bars on the body, the shroud joints are clean

This finished model could be sold on Ebay. The earlier build was not as good and will become part of my flying fleet.
