I got this kit from More Rockets along with an original Atlantis (yay, teen favorite!) and a Super Scorpius.
All of these kits are well done.
The strike-fighter just hurts my eyes. I was a plastic modeler before rockets and it's easy to recognize a P-51 canopy.
The canopy and ramjet nose cone don't fit the space-fighter thing. The wings do, if you're Buck Rogers.
So I reimagined it as a corvette with oversized guns.
Canopy, ramjet nose cone, and radar probe gone. Made both guns the same.
PNC-55AC replaced the ramjet.
Added some small diameter half rounds to break up the tube a bit.
It still needs some sanding stick work on the fine parts.
Pics are attached so they aren't in the way.
What I am looking for is a paint and decal scheme.
Cockpit/Windscreen will be like an Orbital Transport.
Ideas? My cat had none.
I was thinking UN Blue with UN Logos on the vertical stabilizers, and then some tech-o decals, numbers, etc.
That's the fallback, I'd love something better.
I gave some thought to a Der Red Max theme, but I could imagine the screaming haha. Motorverkens.
Cheers / Robert
