FLEDERMAUS KITBASH
Posted by MrT on Monday, November 17, 2014 11:25 AM

A little something I've been working on.  This is a kitbash of the Fledermaus by Nitto.

I'm not familiar with this kit enough to know what was kit-mashed and what was kit. Is there a progress thread on here I can check out?

BTW, The model detail build and paint looks great

Well the build thread is on a different website, but I think I can give you a feel for the work done.  Then you can decide if it is bashed.

The base kit.

The cockpit work.

Cut the canopy.

Gas Struts for the canopy.

New twin engine.

Up graded rear landing struts.

New guns.

Up graded lift engines.

New rear defense gun.

And more details too numerous to mention.  I hope this helps

Yeah Terry I have to agree with the previous poster . Absolutely no kit bashing here whats so ever. Just a kit that has been brought to a whole new level via custom fab and super detailing. Absolutely amazing work  YesYes

Awesome build, I know the original kits are all kitbashed creations, but you've taken it to a whole 'nother level.

Terry, you have done an amazing bit of creative work on this project.  Well Done 

  

Oh I did want to point out you may want to check the Comitor Reversal Dynamic Hypertortional  (CRDH) control setting, it seems a bit too high for this version of "Mouse"

I've looked at this kit a few times and been tempted and have a couple of the other kits in that vein. You've done a great job there, well done

Very cool, Mr. T!  I have the same kit (SF3D boxing) in the stash, and your build is most inspiring.  Your scratchbuilt additions nicely complement the kit's details.  Your cockpit in particular goes a long way to busying up the otherwise bare area.  Well done!

All those kits have bashing potential.

I agree especially since they were all kitbashed in being created. It's always an easter egg hunt trying to identify various pieces parts.

Well just when you thought the Adler was gone.  I'm back doing some decals.  Letting the pad take a rest I got all my extra decals plus decals from two Fledermaus kits and started applying decals.  Here is where we stand right now.  I have more to add so.......
