Buck Rogers Thunderfighter mods
- Thread starter Revell-Fan
- Start date
My next build will be the two-seater HBB-TF to finish off my curent collection, but there are a few other (real life) things that I have to take care of first.
Once the DJ-TF is released, I will build that one as well.
I may not do a build thread on these models, but I will post photos of course.
Revell-fan and I will continue to update all of you on our prgress with this and other related project that are relavent to this (project) thread. So please stay tuned.

Cockpits are doing fine! I'm revising the shape of some parts so that they fit better. In addition, I have melted some parts to decrease the number of parts. Stay tuned!
Good work, RB! :thumb: That's exactly what makes all of this interesting: mixing and matching it all together. This is exactly the Apogee / ILM / Universal Hartland way. In the old days they invented a name for that: kit-bashing.
I have completed the assembly instructions and have sent them to RB to see if there are any gaps or mistakes. Once I get his report I send the whole package to Martin. And then we'll see if HE likes it..! :twisted:
Oh, and here is a sneak peak at the RMQ Concept Viper. This time I am working with SketchUp assistance. However, I fear that this and the cockpits will need a bit more time since I was whipped back on track to get the Colonial blaster ready. Stay tuned!

Thank you RF.
I am very familiar with the term "KIT-BASHING"
When I first started building models, I would save the extra parts and once I had enough to "play with", I would put them together and see what I came up with. Sometimes it was a cool outcome, sometimes it was not so cool. I learned quite a bit from kit-bashing.
I am quite interested to see just how the RMQ Concept Viper turns out.

[/QUOTE]Here are two pics that show what it (generally) looks like.
With the work that Revell-fan does, I am very curtain that the model will be TOP-NOTCH.
I am keeping my fingers crossed and greatly awaiting the news of the "approval" from Martin.

It worked without bakshish! (I'm broke anyway; Rhaven challenged me to a Pyramid Game. How for Sagan's sake could I have accepted that?!?
:mrgreen:)

announce1 Just a reminder to all who are going to build this models. (With the exception of the DJ-TF) You will need to download the original model, because the MK-III (RETRO and ADVANCE), HBB-TF, and QUAD packets are just expansion packets!!!
