Wanted to enter for a while, but I wanted to finish other projects, and with less than 3 weeks remaining I better get cracking.
I'll be using these kits to create a vtol atmospheric/space dropship/gunship:

Stay tuned for more

Man, this' going to be a kitbash & a half! 8)

Watching this one intently.
-
Yes, yes, please proceed
-
Interesting...

Real life got in the way of this build, but hopefully with the extension I will be able to get it done.

Nice! 8)

Oh that looks promising... :)

:o
That is mind-numblingly cool :-*

Good luck gettin' 'er across the finish line!
Sure seems a contender to me!

Keep the paint job simple to help others the time crunch. This is awesome enough as it is!

Test fiting:

As for paint I'm thinking standard two tone hind camo or plain olive drab.

Love the tail too, Going to have to use that on future Harrier Builds

Don't forget to put Spunkmeyer in the back seat ....

Jaw-dropping...

I hope that's an energy weapon that doesn't require ammunition, otherwise there goes your cargo carrying capability! :-\
-
Sci-fi weapons carry their ammunition in hammerspace anyway, so no worries about losing cargo space :P

There's not that much cargo space anyway (about 8 troops near the ramp) due to the internal layout. I'll probably do a paint diagram of the insides later.

There is some space inside for ammo, fuel on the other hand...
Finished:

Two things on the back are the orbital engines. Dual mode - air breathing jet for high speed high altitude flight which then switches to rocket mode to blast into orbit.

Borked the decal because it was old and started disintegrating while I was applying it.

This is a machine to kill, indeed. :-* :-* :-* :-* >:D

Thanks all :)

WOW!!!!!
-
At once extremely awesome and yet "believable" (SSTO payload fraction notwithstanding, but I guess fuel is even better to store in hammerspace and it is the issue with every sci-fi dropship ever).
-
Very good job! :)
-
That's excellent! 8)
Where did the pinup on the fin come from?

Most excellent,
This is most certainly "in the pipe, 5 by 5 "
love it

what a stellar example of scale-bashing!

That is so stupidly cool! BRAVO!
