two new small hybrids (especially the Kingfisher, 1/350 ...)
(I still have the wings of the small kingfisher ... ... )
Two new marvels, thanks for sharing...
And I am "afraid" of what you will do with those remaining wings...  :-\ ;D (no I am kidding, this will probably be marvelous, again!) :thumbsup:
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

I will try to fnd something "appropriate" for the tiny wings  ;D

That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

Stuka and vulture : that should look terrific!
especially, it might not be red, blue or yellow  ;D
but a feathered Stuka, or a Luftwaffe camouflaged Vulture ...

That A-10 falcon is straight from Marvel comics. I can just see the falcon shucking off its robo-suit, shaking its mussed-up wing feathers down and turning back into Falcon Girl just in time to pretend she'd never left her room.

I think I'm in love. :wub:
Cheers.

So do I. Poor girl, with several lovers willing to get her heart... ;D :wub: :wub:

I am rather nervous about meeting Reciprocalman. Will he be her welcoming brother or a threatening boyfriend?
Cheers.

here it comes!





I kept some of the original stripes, as a tribute to the work by someone in China

Is that a Gyr Falcon?

I once had an R/C glider that was modelled on a full size Gyr Falcon and it was black and white like yours.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Aww, ain't he cute. Bet he gets up a REAL speed when he dives on his prey though. Reciprocalman sees all, knows all, kills all.
Cheers.

it is (was) a Papo figurine of a falcon, I don't know more, like this :



the stripes under the wings seem quite specific

and when he lands, he has a front wheel to complete rear legs ...  :blink:

That's because of the sheer weight of his streamlined augmented-vision cyber helmet.
Cheers.
