Scratching a Valkyrie

[DaN]

Just wondering what you guys would use to scratchbuild/convert an Imperial Guard Valkyrie from standard modern kits...

I\'m thinking two cockpit canopies from AH-64 Apaches (Or Possibly HIND for a rounded variant)

For the fuselage I was thinking either:

DH110 FAW Sea vixen (Favourite so far)

Lockheed P-38 Lightning

Or DH10 Vampire

These would all need extensive plasticard remodelling of course, and some massive engines from somewhere

Anyone have any other ideas for pieces?

How about engines from an A-10? What about mixing scales? Some 1/32 Warthog engines would be massive.

How about a 1/32nd AV-1B Harrier? With lots of work it might do the trick. If you switch back and forth from 48th to 32nd you can probably get just what you\'re after.

I likef the work you did on the Abrams (That was you, right?) so I am looking forward to seeing this as it comes along.

Good Luck!

Yeah I was thinking the A-10 engines - maybe lengthened with some tubing.

Tbh it\'ll be a while before I attempt another kit - especially one with so much ACTUAL converting

But yeah, Keep an eye out

What Scale Are you thinking of using?

I have long thought of scratchbuilding something. Or Kitbashing, whatever. I was thinking of more like a 1/32nd WWII plane for an Ork fighta-bomba. Maybe a Corsair or a Stuka.

I look forward to seeing you start this!

35/42/48 - Those seem to be the right sizes for kitbashing in order to fit GW.

I\'ve had the same idea - but I need to find a good Ork to use as pilot.

Ork Pilot-How about the Black Reach Deathkopta pilots? Price is right.
