Accurate Miniatures Predator

AeroplaneDriver · May 03, 2008, 02:29:34 PM

I went to the IPMS show in Greenville, SC today (my first show ever!), where the guy from Accurate Miniatures had a Predator on display. It wont be released until late summer he said, and like a complete pillock I didnt take a picture even though I had my camera with me, but I can say it looks very nice. Lots of delicate detail. It's about the size of a 1/72 Hawk in length and span (maybe a tad smaller), but much less bulky. A very delicate looking model.

Anyway, I cant wait for it to come out.

Ok, everyone knows my feelin's on these little manless buggars that are now invading air services the world over, however I could see myself getting a few of those just to Whiff em up as that jet-powered bird seen in "Transformers" & "MIlll"

It wasnt one a base

They had the sprues as well as the assembled kit. Looks nice.

Yeah, I was thinking about turning one into a trainer, just for kicks.

(slaps forehead) Of course I've got an unbuilt Unicraft Predator sitting in the stash....

I'd rather get a Global Hawk it just looks more interesting than the Predator

The AM Predator is the Platz kit, which is already on the market. If you want one, HLJ has them available.

Assume it is as it's for the European market only. The photo of the box art appears to have low viz Italian markings - do they have them ?

Yes, Italy has a squadron of Predators operating in Iraq.

An interesting Whif would be to add a cockpit making a 21st Century Fi-103.

Is anybody coming out with a Global Hawk kit? It's a very impressive device in real life and much larger than I had assumed.
