Ok, kicked this off to get on the C&C vehicle bandwagon.
I have done a GDI Orca before, so now it was time for the NOD craft and the Venom looked to be the best choice.
What I am looking at getting is something like this
So after a first false start with a 1/72 Hind as a base I settled on a 1/72 Seahawk with its proboscis removed
After some hacking and slashing and filling and probing and shimming I ended up here
I did change the engine layout after the failed first attempt to a more rounded shape.. using Buccaneer External tanks actually.
After some hacking and slashing and filling and probing and shimming I ended up here with the current smoother shape.
Thence onto some paint work to get the under lying red colouring seen
It is not exactly like the artwork, nor the game avatar.. but to me it gets the right vibe. Only the finished paint will tell
It also has lights in the engines and cockpit, which will still hopefully work after all this.
