I was very unimpressed with the colours of Classics Sunstreaker. (I dont really have the TF budget to buy double up for the sake of customising, though this mold really does beg for it!) I didnt want to change it too much - just some enhancements. Less is more.
I really must pay homage here to gamblor916 for the motivation (and courage) to do this.
Summary of changes:
Car
- silver under the clear headlight plastic inserts.
- silver rims now black
- roof-mounted engine air scoops (or whatever it is supposed to be) silver (argh, that insipid grey!)
- front side indicators red (instead of pale orange)
- rear was redone in gloss black with mesh in silver and tail lights in gloss red
'Bot
- arms and legs redone in grey (replacing more of that insipid grey)
- shoulder strips redone in gloss red
- the terrible brown on back of legs, redone in metallic bronze
Oh, yeah... a G1 Mirage missile modded to replace left fist in homage to G1 'Streaker.
I'm very happy with how he looks now, and am considering some black on the sides of car mode and a different shade of yellow for the engine cover/vent section.
