Finished this build a few weeks ago, the Dragonfly supersonic suborbital aircraft by Moebius Models as seen in the 1964 animated cartoon, Jonny Quest.

You can see it near the end of the Youtube video below. Note that this is a fan created stop-motion video which nicely recreates the original animated introduction:

What a great homage to one of my favorite TV shows growing up!
I loved watching Jonny Quest on my parent's big 19" Zenith console TV as a 7 year old.
It was more of an adult action adventure than I was used to at the time with lots of neat gadgets and great characters. Throw in some pterodactyls and dragons and what more could a kid of the 60's wish for?
Anyway, here are pics of the finished model after it's final clear coats of transparent pearl, semi-gloss clear lacquer, and a good rub down with Novus # 1 polishing wax for a satiny smooth finish:
