Thank you all. It means a lot since I'm new in kitbashing waters.

Hi all This is my first topic here, and also my first spaceship build and my second kitbash model. The base for this build was Eurocopter Tiger (Revell 1:72) which had been sitting on my shelf for a long time since I'm building only 48th-scale models, so I decided to put it to good use. The rest of the parts are spares from many different kits and some very old "decommissioned" builds. The work was subconsciously influenced by various movie dropships that I like very much. I am very happy with the result and I hope you'll like it too.

Hi You can use Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol) since it is much cheaper than IPA and easier to find (at least in my country). It is slightly "weaker" and you need to clean the print better, but it's worth it. Also, it smells less bad.

Recently, I finished this model (D+) and I was sure it would be a tail-sitter if I didn't add the weight in the nose. Fortunately, there's a space in the extended nose section, above the FLIR turret. Better safe than sorry.
