(...) Thanks! Yellow is a good color to use for this because of its brightness - yellow and dark grey for accents are a good color pairing. I've been meaning to get back into aquazone and have some more ideas, but I have some work to do:-) Joe (18 years ago, 30-Jan-07, to lugnet.aquazone, FTX)

A very nice little ship! Good to see you building aquazone again! I love the dual engines, and the sleek look of the craft. As to stealth, it isn't worth sacrificing the yellow ; ) Thanks for sharing and God Bless, Nathan (URL) (18 years ago, 30-Jan-07, to lugnet.aquazone, FTX)
