Heh heh, I notice that drawing has black main tires---though that's one of the best aviation artists out there, nobody is immune to forgetting to make the tires silver.

there are vids of an all black a-12/sr-71 carring a drone..check out SR71 Sistership, The MD21 Blackbird Accident on youtube 00:51 and 1:31 mark..carring a drone, but all black..

Seems I was wrong. That's the one that crashed, and there's VERY few pics of it (the drone program was highly classified, even as Lockheed secret jet projects go). But they show it to be black. (and a check of the best Blackbird site says it was black, too).

(and the tires should still be silver on all Blackbirds regardless)

I'm kinda embarassed I didn't know that, since I'm a fairly big fan of the surviving M-21. I think I saw so many pics of it that I convinced myself that's how they all were. (doesn't help that 99% of all pics of them ARE of the survivor)

I don't think you can cover the majority of a figure's surface area with stickers and not have it look like shit.

The total for one TFC figure from RK shipped to my house is $93.00...

Most, if not all other sites, start the price per figure higher than that, BEFORE shipping...

Yeah, some places allow you to hold your orders saving you on shipping, but if you wait until the last figure is released and then order from RK you can do the same thing and save not only on shipping, but also $20 PER figure!...that's a $100 savings in just figure cost alone...

I got phantom and eagle from tfsource and they give you $10 off. Turn on stack for free shipping and that's the same as buying them RK.
