well Xtreme jets don't offer a painted one yet, and I am sure when they do, the price will reflect that; plus whats the quality of the plane? I have owned a few of Antons planes and the quality could have been better. But I am sure he is now put to the challange to produce a quality jet at his selling price. I have order a couple of his Xtreme jets and nothing has come to light yet so we will see.
