djos Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Hi all I am not sure why i bought this ugly bird....but as i started work on other drones, predator, raptor...it was somehow in line with this path. Easy to build, general very good fitting, simple, only issue is with wings in the root, where you need to be careful to align properly, simple color scheme just with different shades of some panels in gunship gray , minimal almost none weathering, some silvering after applying decals even with gloss finish and use of decal solvent solutions (at the end Tamiya ultra thin cement save the day).......and that was all......at the end only stayed to find enough place in the display cabinet for this beast. In general, not nice looking flying machine.....but somehow different. I hope you will like photos...but it is hard to expect with this ugly thing. Best regards to all Edited July 5, 2017 by djos Moving images from PB 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Great model of a weird looking plane - always reminds me of the head of the alien from the 'Alien'-movie! Cheers Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Very nice, I have this in 1/48 in my stash. Looking in the box I may have to build an extension first as it's huge!!! Should have stuck to 1/72nd me thinks!?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celt Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 A well tidy job on a really ugly looking aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Rhodes Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Beautiful! Agree, that humped fuselage gives it a very alien-esque appearance. Might tempt me to extricate my half finished one (same kit) from the shelf of doom... Regards, Darren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 A neat build nonetheless and quite a long wing span. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm building it too, the Platz boxing. What brand of paint did you use? It looks very, very smooth. Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiArt350 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi, great looking model! I rather love this aircraft and think it's attractive and unique. It does have an alien/reptilian front end and is both intimidating and sinister in appearance. I liked it enough to make a drawing of it in a homeland security paint scheme. Just curious why do you think it's so ugly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
