Scale: 1/24

Most of my scratch/kitbashed models tend to have a large amount of surface detail, I thought I might try to create a light craft that was sleek and small in design. Here it is!

The cockpit is the Stinger craft from DSV, which wasn't a too bad a show. The interior was super-detailed and a 1/24 scale Harrier pilot used as the personnel. The hull is an old Monogram concept stealth fighter kit.

The wings are 'bashed' from the same Harrier kit as the pilot with a fair bit of puttying done then sanded smooth. Engine detail was scavenged from my ever trusty spare parts box with sheet plastic for the 'deflectors', painted black.

The front canards also from the spare parts box and I haven't got a bloody clue where there came from originally.

The whole craft was painted from a Humbrol aerosol can then a little weathering added to show some type of speed.
