- close up of Blackhawk with the upper part of the cockpit visible.
- please have Blackhawk smiling, tipping his cap back; as if he just returned from a successful battle
- please, have the Blackhawk insignia showing (any "era" insignia you feel is appropriate)

Had to whip up a quick and dirty model of the Skyrocket to get the proportions right for the fly-over…

I actually used the schematic from that page to build my model!

Thanks! The Big Question on this one was How Much Black? Altho Blackhawk's uniform was clearly BLACK in his first story, it was BLUE on the cover, and blue quickly became the standard. When I first "met" the Blackhawks, as a kid, there was no doubt in my mind that their outfits were dark blue.

But if I left this one "open for color" it wouldn't work -- basically, far too much white space. So I started slipping in some heavy blacks, carefully, until I got what I hoped was a balance.
