I agree with that 100% ^^^

Seeing as it has all of the original decals intact I think I would build that one as a survivor, although you'll need a pad to cover up that nice clean white paint on the top tube ;D

I kinda like it... never seen one before.

Post by: fischflo on July 17, 2014, 11:48 PM: like it in white, but you could also build it up as an Aero Shark, but no idea who could do them cool prismatic decals

How about giving it an oxy bath. Then mask up the original decals. Then rattle can it white again. I think it would look cool 8) built up with budget survivor parts. :daumenhoch:
