Default Hot bodies A-7, did I over do it?

Here are some pics of my A-7. I wanted to make it easier to see. How does it look? Do you guys think it would look better without the blue?

Rupert, Looks nice. What paint did you use? Do you know how much wieght it added? I do think this plane looks cooler with the original scale look though.

Rup,
looks good, I'm finishing up my own HotBodies A7.
It shoulda been done in gray insteada siver, then
a little white on the bottom. I painted the nose
white to represent the radome. Put white Monokote on the control surfaces and did the vertical tail surfaces in green. Looks alot better than plain ol' silver. I'm looking forward to flying it.

I don't think you over did it...looks great. You might want to think about doing a different pattern on the underside of the wings if you concerned about visibility.
