Great work! Had to stop buy and comment after catching this bad boy in the Whiffies thread

TC, that's totally amazing, I love it!

What I want to know is though, what are you going to do with the rest of the Privateer..........?

pyro-manic · January 11, 2011, 12:12:20 PM

Just brilliant.

You really would confuse the hell out of people at a show with this.

Thanks guys for the comments.

Kit, I`m not really sure what to do with the rest of the Privateer kit, but I`m off to my local model shop today, so I may well come back with the answer?

Turned out quite well, in the end.

Been looking to do this one for a while now and obtained this Hunter kit today.

This is part one of a two part `what if` story and build and I still need to obtain the second aircraft kit.

PR19_Kit · January 12, 2011, 12:11:16 PM

Hm, try as I might I can't see how the Hunter and the Privateer could possibly mix and match......

Some sort of lubricant I would imagine...sorry! Leaving for the door now.

Wow. Somehow I had lost track of this worthy project and just now tuned in again.

This one really looks the part. Job well done!

>I can't see how the Hunter and the Privateer could possibly mix and match<

Surely the un-used Privateer tail could be spliced onto the Hunter?

Just tried to pair these up with the KY and funnily enough it hasn`t quite gone to plan....

Build is coming on at a nice pace and this is a very nice kit. However I have discovered that there is a lot of `flash` around on some of the pieces and this can be time consuming.

Completed the cockpit and here is how it looks at the mo.

The spring powered wooden warp engines are a nice touch

Don`t start giving me ideas......

Update picture on progress so far. The `silver` scheme might give what this will become away.

Pretty much finished the model build. Just need to do the weapons, fuel tanks and decals.

Here`s how she looks.
