Those Alpha Team canopies really are a great jumping off point for a model,
aren't they? With the exception of the hinging problems of course :)

I think this is your best to date Curt, definately the most streamlined.
You've done a nice job of angling the body to reflect the angles of the
canopy.  As Chris and Paul have mentioned, the colour scheme might look a
little cleaner if limited to just the white,red and black without the
transgreen.  I find almost all of the transcolour element very difficult to
convincingly incorporate into any model...they often look more like an
afterthought than a deliberate addition.  Just me tho'....

The pop out missle rack is a nice touch....increased playability is always good!

Build on!

Cheers,
