Dangit, but this thing is looong!!

You must build a recessed storage space for a miniscooter for the pilot to do his walkaround

I agree with Bex, that tail was meant to be

What, Bex?!, hey, lolly-stick-fairy!!! long-time-no-see!!!

With the mounts cut off

Yup I agree with you on that one, perfect

Yeah well I figure with the hump cut off you have to have somewhere to put gas. With the single cockpit and the long nose you still have plento o room for fuel tanks .With the pods on the bottom you don't have to put avionics in that space.

You think that is pretty wait till you see the fuel and weapons distribution in the loadout

But that will have to wait as right now I am remodeling the cockpit to get rid of that silly arse bottom ejection and, of course add the HUD

I mean what with the 5 different types of AAM's one must have a HUD

More PSR and the office remodel plus some stuctural work

The tail is not permanently fixed cause I knew I would break it off 80 times.

I fitted it and then installed metal pins

I finally remembered to install the leading edge slats
And I got rid of the horrible bottom ejection of the Starfire

I like the metal pins in the tail, good thinking that one and Im looking forwards to seeing her load out

Thanks Bex think 12 AAM's and 3 tanks

Looking forward to the roll-out like a kid waiting for Christmas.....this one's all the way-round cool, baby!

I really like this one, Toolslinger. Nice and subtle and tweaked just enough to give the JMNs a real twist! The Starfighter tail looks like it belongs!

Man the pace that you produce kit bashes is astounding!

Of all your recent kit bashes I am liking this one the most

sotoolslinger · January 30, 2009, 04:54:30 PM

Thanks all y'all I am very pleased you are liking this one as it is turning out to be one of my favorites too

Here is a little more cockpit detailing

She is really going a lot faster than I expected

As you can see I only have about a hundred more PSR sessions to go so I decided to work on the load out.......NEXT

This is just so cool. As it has progressed, I keep seeing more and more 'Blackhawks' markings for this one; but remember I'm an odd duck. But still, this odd duck is really enjoying this particular creation.
