War Correspondent Skyriter

Interesting how it includes both the old and new logos.

I realised a day after I got it that it was missing the back Skyriter name panel by the bunny ears. If anybody has one they could spare that is in the beige colour, let me know! Also, I have found a new method to take better photos. I've set up a mini-studio with a grey blanket that helps my camera take better photos, somehow. They look pretty sharp against the darker background.

  1. Yeah, those back nameplates tend to vanish on Skyriters. They're held on by simple pressure tabs, and any bending to the plate will make it pop right off.

  2. War Correspondent Skyriter has arrived in Kyrgyzstan, unharmed, in working order, and ready to begin service.
