The iconic Lockheed SR-71 in 1/144 scale by Platz (Dragon). This is another beautiful kit with few parts and perfect fit, which means you can get to paint quickly. The challenge being to bring out various shades and variation in the otherwise bland black livery. I originally wanted to simulate the afterburner glow with LEDs and acrylic tubing, but I simply couldn’t fit the battery and switch inside the fuselage as it is a very small package. So instead I simulated the plane on approach and left it at that.
