An excellent looking kit! I just finished mine yesterday and pics of it are on my WIP thread. The pack I thought would only take a couple weeks to build, prep and paint. But nope it took me one months time to get it completed. And having done so......well God speed sir. A rewarding build indeed! I still got my helmet to finish and got two weeks to get that done.

I'm looking forward to your paint job on this bad boy!

Thanks, bro! Yes, prepping it was really a PITA but I'm now looking foward to start with the fun part

Painting this thing I felt a bit like Karate Kid; mask on, mask off, mask on, mask off... ;-) But in the end I feel it was absolutely worth the hassle.

That looks great!!!

That thing looks like a wreck, but in the best way possible. I’m sure you know what I mean...

Very well done, Strider

Oh man, I know whatcha mean. 45 mins to sometimes an hour worth of taping only to have it painted in a few minutes. It got old fast. But as you unwrap the tape job you get to see the fruits of that labor. A nice job indeed with the paint sir! Your first post on this Jetpack was on October 4th. And here we are a month later........yep, about the same time it took me too.

Again, well done!

Really, just a month? Felt longer

Just to show how it looks from the back. The harness is from Bigdane and the hooks and clips are selfmade.

So after finishing the jetpack and some finetuning I thought I take some more images of the final results
