Most major mod is that I have been trying to find somewhere to use this piece for years... so she has a new nose

Oh yeah I made both wings and tail bigger >:D
-
What is this? It's clearly two wide to fit in the Galactica's launch tubes! You obviously have no idea of what you're doing! Read the BSG flight manual!
I love the nose, and the pincer wings! The engines are great, too - what are they from?
-
that new nose looks like a naboo starfigher,is it?
looks great!
-
That wonderful nose modification demonstrates the amazing innovating thinking you're known for!
Things like this make me feel I'm in the presence of greatness.

Thanks all y'all I must admit that both the engines and the nose are from some various Japanimation models that I have collected over the years. I am embarrassed to admit that I don't remember which show or craft they are from :-X :-\ ??? I am not a big Anime fan but will buy anything I think has a cool shape or detail I can scavenge >:D
-
Yet another masterpiece in the making! :)
-
You should send a photo portfolio of your work to ILM.
-
Nice one Ron!
I recognise the nose and engines, in fact I even think I have the same kit, but I can't put a name to them off the top of my head.

A nice fighter is born :)

Today's progress :) Mostly PSR but I did decide I like the forward swept tail better

I've got to agree, cowboy! That new tail is aces!
Brian da Basher
-
... And I, also! The forward sweep goes better with the apparent philosophy behind the wing-plan engineering.
Looking good! :)
-
It certainly has presence,
Some great kitbashing there
-
Can't wait to see this after you've sanded through the filler! You're like a sculptor, Ron - you
carve sand a work of art out of plastic and putty instead of wood or marble.
