I was worried that it would still look quite German given that there's that white background around the eagle's head.
I tried filling it with light blue.
What think you now?

I used paint.net, which I also use to do all the image editing I do for the site. It's available for free download.

I realize this is getting a bit abstract, but how about an SR-71 Blackbird with the "NightHawk" tail art? I'm looking for motivation to build it and can't find any snake themed campaigns!

Ahhh paint.net cool ill be downloading that then

.. As for the F-117 Night Hawk thats fine with me .. The SR-71 is a bit of a grey area maybe a slight bend in the rules could be made ??

if everyone else is ok with it ?? im not sure how strict i should be

Well, Blackbirds eat insects, so technically they're birds of prey...

I have just enlisted, though I do not know if I will be able to complete the kit. Too many builds going on. I will try and build either a Bf 108 or a Fw 187.

The Taifun is not a bird of prey, so the falke would be your legal entry. That's a pretty obscure airplane. Who does a kit of it?
