Hey Brothers!

Here it is an updated lighted GOODYEAR BLIMP. I searched EBAY to find not new kits but kits that were in pieces and parts. I did not want to open a collectors item so I pieced this together.

The color is off on purpose as Iwas dealing with making my own decals and just knewthe computer and the paint would never match. If you want to make your own decals be sure you use white decal paper on anything going on a dark background. It was also a challenge that took a month to get the decal to go over the light window. After seven...yep....seven attempts I think I got close.

Intended to put new engines on this little jewel but decided the using the lighted sign would just about ensure any super detailing would be quickly destroyed.

I also wanted to keep this to what it was meant for; a toy in all reality.

Sotake a look and tell me ehat you think.

Best

I really like what you did to her,Don!:smokin:
Your update, is a welcome change to the old classic. I had fun building the models, as a kid, and wish I had one now.
