Sky Guardians. There's a new Butcher-Bird on the block, and it seems to be a winner. Witty's practice of keeping it simple has given this Priller an attractive, professional look that is a pleasure to photograph and display. The sliding canopy is well done (though the painted canopy frame on the front of the sliding part is a bit heavy), and the general color and paint quality is topnotch. My only gripe might be the thickness of the plastic at the top of the canopy.

This copy came with a flaw in the prop/fan mount. The fan stuck out about 1/16th of a inch, and looked pretty awful. I pulled the prop/fan off (it is mounted on a steal peg), made the hole in the prop hub a little deeper (don't over do it!), and reattached the prop. Worked like a charm.
