rockpopandchips Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Trying to make my mind up on the front, keep it simple and clean with a stubby lazer or add the front stableiser wing thing... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Both look good, but I prefer the stubby look.Great design over all - I love the beaky nose on the fuselage. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Smeg Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I’m with Andy on this, the stubby looks better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVoidDragon Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 With the front wing it kind of reminds me of Batman's The Bat from The Dark Knight rises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'd wondered when someone would do something like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sort of see what you mean, they are now going to be added to something else. 3 hours ago, Pete in Lincs said: I'd wondered when someone would do something like this. I was quite surprised how few I managed to find and this a only a Revell kit so I don't feel bad about chopping it to bits... Made this a single seater now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Both look good, though I have a hankering for the wing-thingy at the front. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 If anything, I'd add triangles of plastic card alongside the cockpit to form intakes on the front of the 'wing'. Probably with vertical splitters inside. https://fantastic-plastic.com/uploads/3/5/5/3/35539432/fledermausmain_2_orig.jpg Or, how about Mosquito type radiator intakes? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DalekCheese Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 No front wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini 8 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 On some pictures it reminds me very much of the V-Wing Airspeeder. It was not one of my favourite "legends" ships, but I definitely like this nose much more. I'm curious how it evolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how it evolves. Yes I see what you mean. I have added some small wing tips to change the profile and bit more and once the upper winglets go on it should look every different. I'm also sorted the canapé, then I need to fit Laziers, a quick tidy up of a few small bits then to paint the inside. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Cheers Pete Masking the canopy, what a pain in the bottom that it is...... I don't think I have ever bothered before but said I was going to use my Chinese airbrush for the entire build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Slightly over sized but you can see much of them.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 That's looking so good. Rally like the new engine details, and the skids look just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Have a Hasegawa Aerospace Ground Equipment comming to make a small hanger for it. I'm hope they work out OK for size. I also have a few different Zvezda figures kicking about I could use. 5 hours ago, Thom216 said: That's looking so good. Rally like the new engine details, and the skids look just fine.
