Nice work on that one Allan, it is very seldom that a Blue Angels HELLCAT is seen. Looking forward too the collection in it’s entirety.

WHAT??!! And miss a perfectly good opportunity to add those bloodshot eyeballs and grimace!!
Kidding aside, nice build. Never knew this flew as an Angel! The simple gold lettering on the deep blue looks nice.
