My club, the Richard I. Bong Chapter, IPMS/USA, recently held a competition for alternate Blue Angel and Thunderbird designs. I thunk this one up without the use of drugs or alcohol. I removed the huge props from the XF5U-1 "Flying Pancake" kit, added plastic tubing jet exhausts and used spare Blue Angel decals to make the different take on "Blue Angel." What if they went with a flying halo motif? I painted the bottom white, then masked off the tails and painted a yellow ring "halo" on the bottom, then hand painted light blue feathers on the "wings."
