Finally, a Hawk's Hobby Bandit upscale.

This is a GREAT kit. I flew it once on a RMS E motor, and it flies great too.

I finally got around to compounding the paint job and applying decals. Unfortunately, the decals were really thin and fragile. The roll bar and several smaller decals all split and crumbled. I cut the "U.S. AIR FORCE" decals in half, so I would not have to work with such big pieces. Even so I had to repair them with black marker.

I recreated the roll bar with trim tape. Not an exact match, but close!

I used clear coat this time. It came out looking pretty good!
