A couple of half-starts I dug out courtesy of the new shelves ! Shelves rule !

I did a bunch of cutting and sanding on the Avenger tonite, and it just need one more coat of filler before final assembly can start. One guess as to wht it'll be ! I'm thinking of calling it a 'Revenger'. What do you all think ?

The Vixen is recieving a 'proper' cockpit. It'll end up as a ____ example from ______.

Cheers !

Gotta love dial-up. As the picture slowly unfolded on my screen I could see the Vixen fuselage with a bit of Avenger tail and I thought you had mated the two!

Thanks for the bottle and caps for scale reference, Captain.
;)

What did you use for the cream-colored fuselage top on the Revenger?   Is that some sort of Bondo/resin or did you cut that from another kit?

Woah Toad LOVE IT!!! :wub:

Those cockpit swaps are AWESOME!

Have you considered adding spats? It's a proven fact that spats add to the coolness factor of any aircraft by 1000%!

I love spats! :wub:

it was planned to make the avenger as an one-man-beast....
the canopy was installed but without the change of the avngers contoures...
the "work" for a man piloting/operating radio/navigating....was simply to heavy...
as first with the skyrider was it possuble with the forthcoming developement of deiverse radio equipment...
Im working on this idea since some time too....
I made my conversion on the italeri/AM kit which is pretty cheap here  :rolleyes:
good lusk with this project!!! :cheers:
much work is awaiting ;)

They are looking bloody good Taod, Love what you've done with the avenger.
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior
