Hi guys
No backup story for this one. I just liked how the name sounds :)
Just took some parts from a now defunct MaK Falke (hence some of the parts arae already painted),
partial wings from a Star Wars Shadows of the Empire Xizor's Virago,
and some additional random bits and pieces of unknown provenience.
And that is the result:

The Spirit is pretty much ready for painting, but the base is still under construction.
Thanks for watching!

The gun is from a Hasegawa 1/20 Pkf.85 Falke Antigravity Armored Raider (I have 2, one almost finished, one not started).

The wings angle is surprising, are they flapping wings? :smiley:
-
It is a pleasure to discover new works from you,very inspirational as always.
This is my kind of kitbash.

Actually, just realised that the fuselage is also from a Hasegawa 1/20 Pkf.85 Falke, it's one of the forward nacelles (taken from a P-38 Lightning, itself) & reversed! :smiley:

WOW! 8)

Hi Guys
Thanks for the comments.
No flapping wings, unfortunately! But thatīs something to revisit in a future project!
Indeed it is some bits and pieces of my late Hasegawa Falke (may its polystyrene soul rest in an everlasting peace...;))
Fortunately I was able to salvage some parts...
But letīs talk about the base, instead!
This time I wanted to try something different, so please find below some self explanatory photos.

There are still some small details to be added (a ladder in the maintenance pit, etc.), but you got the idea, right? ;)
Thanks for watching!

Got the idea ... and it is already a lovely piece of work :-*

And after all this time, finally some painting.

Some sort of tigermeet wannabe scheme, so to speak :)
Thanks for watching!

That...
Is...
AWESOME!

Now is decals and dark wash time, before the final matte coat.
Thanks for watching!

Very creative idea and well executed.
Good one

Phenomenal idea and craftsmanship. Skywrath IS a terrific name, too, btw. In your imagination, how does this craft achieve vertical lift and descent? I did not see a ventral view. Do you envision rotating nozzles (mechanical thrust diversion) or some sort of anti-grav? Very, very interesting!

Hi guys
Thanks for the comments!
And I have absolute no idea about those things work! I only build them... :)
But this one is finally done, after a few last minute tweaks.
Please find below the photos:
