1/72 Atlantian Mantaray 'the guardian of the skies!'

[markmarples]

The Mantaray! MD-66 (Maritime Deffence)

following in the Atlantian Theme, the Mantaray is a Maritime patrol aircraft, the aggressively defends the Atlantian boarders. this is a Revell Orion modified to pack a punch on any shipping, subs or aircraft penetrating our boarders so this



will become the MANTARAY!

first job, to raid the spairs box to find a few lumps and bumbs and a new nose!

i think she will be in the Air as well, a recently saw a mate Andy's Nimrod, on a stand and it looked FAB so i may go with that idea


so new nose and ECM pods

[Thorvic]

With a nose like that i think Dolphin may be more suitable 

However interesting idea look forward to seeing how it progresses.

[Army of One]

Agreed with Thorvic....this project has great potential....H

Super Cool Keep up the great Work Dan

[McColm]

I've often wondered what a P-3 would look like with the wings and engines from a Nimrod, stop giving me ideas. I haven't finished any of my own builds yet.
Great idea of yours.

Did you get that kit from the Wave Mark?

[markmarples]

yes mate for a very good price, dont tell me it was yours

[tc2324]

Not mine..., but I remember the box and scribble on it from my last visit earlier this year........

[markmarples]

i think i paid a fiver for it, then somone of BM sent me a spare set of decals for her (as there were none in the box) so all in all not a bad deal
