I'm not conservative, even as fins go, but this "African flag"-look takes away too much of the iconic TBird shape.

And you would never go for anything gaudy, such as the SPCB or refinning the gunshot EB-0L in orange and blue.  :)

I do agree with you on this one, though. The finish calls all the attention to itself at the expense of the classic TBird look.

I'd like that fin on an SG or EB-2 no sweat, possibly even on an Explorer.

No issues with Rainbows, whether Blackmore-led



or the coalition type. Gives you less things to explain than a Rebel Victory!  :mrgreen:



'Ere's some Rainbow Birds for you!

The PC, pre rebuild... nicknamed the "Tequilabird" by the Gent above... ;)



... and he missed this Rainbow...



... and let's have a stage pic of Mr Glover with the 'Bird...
