My current project Fliege

I haven't built anything in so long I thought better get with something. What better then a classic S.F.3.D Nitto kit.


























Relocating the elbow more forward in the arm gun and extending the front of the arm gun.

Replacing the spring finger hand with a more interesting older 1/144 scale gundam replacement hand from Wave.
























Quick snap together of the shell to see what the pilot looks like in there.

The tube holes there on the sides will have a couple of missiles barely sticking out there thanks to some old 1/35 resin wine bottles by Verlinden. Also replacing detail that I had sanded off while I was filling the seams


While I was at it I added a couple of handles or brush guards over the front window to give it that deep sea diver look. I just thought it needed something there for protection.
