Ahhhh… This brings back some fond memories.

Will keep my eye on this one.

 

[TimM63]

Main color is done. Starting to add some detail paint to it.

 

[MattG]

It's looking great! I have always liked the bird of preys.

 

[TimM63]

Thank you. It's a nice kit. Been fun so far.

Looks big, length, wingspan?

It is approx 10" L and wingspan is approx 14".

Any plans to make the wings movable?
I used the DLM hinge kit when I build mine about 10 years ago…

I won't be doing that for $90. The wings will be fixed in attack position.
Thanks for the link

I know Greenstrawberry has a kit for moveable wings too. its also around 80 USD.

I'm with you on this.

 

[trekriffic]

I think they ran around 60 bucks when I bought mine from Don's Light and Magic. He had them on special.

 

[TimM63]

I haven't had much time to work on this. I have been adding small details when I can.
I am off work for the next two weeks so I should get more time at the bench.

 

[BarleyBop]

Time off? Warp speed!

Qapla' !

 

[TimM63]

I got the underside of one wing done. Starting on the other wing. Hand painting the red is a pain but worth it.

 

[TimM63]

I'm calling this one done. This was a very nice kit and I had a lot of fun building it.

 

[BarleyBop]

Three cheers! Very reptilian!
The green also reminds me of one of my metallic HOT WHEELS!

"May your blood scream!"
(sorry, can't pronounce the Klingon!)

 

[MattG]

Turned out beautifully! I love the picked out details!
