Since I didn't have time to fully explain all of my mods, I'll give you an overview now. Firstly, the cockpit has scratchbuilt instrument panel, windows, rear seats and the front were modified. I added a floor behind the cockpit so you don't see a big hole there when you look. The boarding ramp got a new surface and I added a door all the way in the inside. Each turret on the top and bottom has a scratchbuilt area where the seats are and I modified the guns. I blanked off the engine with stryene painted black inside. I added a concussion missle launcher between the front "arms" made outta a tic-tac container top with a missle made from the top part of a bobber! Finally, I weathered it with a "wash" of black acrylic diluted with water. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then took a rag and streaked it. Battle damage was added by drilling holes, roughing them up and finishing with pastels. Ok, so it was a lot more than you needed to know but hey, gotta make my 100th post long! Laugh [(-D] "I hear the sound of one hand clapping." Any other questions?

She does look like an awesome build! Very nicely done!

I've got the same kit. After a little research online, I've found out that one of the biggest complaints on that kit was the fact that the side panels were too thick, so the dimensions were ot accurate. I know that Starship Modeler once sold upgrade kits, but they've been outta stock for the longest time!

I can only hope that I get my hands on that upgrade kit, or get my hands on a Fine Molds kitSigh [sigh]

Warmest regards,

Roger

Ouch! That's gotta hurt! Also, the Preadator mask looks good so far! Can't wait to see it! (note, What is your new avatar? Looks like a helicopter pilot in darktrooper armor holding a lightsaber.)

I'm not getting any pictures.

If at first you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment.
