gunpowder17 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 73cm long in fact! Yes its a toy , but its a great shape and has some very good detail. It is just a plastic shell , and the bad thing is that the wings are molded closed. When this is finished it will be one stupendous model indeed. Here is a list of what i propose to do . Scratchbuild new wings Cut out the cockpit windows and scratchbuild a cockpit Cut the engines apart and scratchbuild parts move the butt plate in and make new detail parts. Make 3 mounting points with covers Build new wing cannons Remove the front UC leg and fill in the gap Make fuselage formers for strength. Total repaint and weathering Lets get started.... R2 is good and the same size as the action figures Droid strip detail is very good. engines are good but hollow underneath Did i mention that is huge. Thats an Airfix 1/72 Lancaster sitting on it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richellis Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well, not the normal model for me to look at but I do like to see 'toys' used as a base to a build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
