Here's a few pics of my converted Chickenhawk

[Sgt Xin]

I thought the weapons were a bit too small so I swapped them out for something bigger, .

The load out would be the 2 missile packs, rotary cannon and twin-50's. I have a metal plate under the chin, so I can magnet on the claws. Also I'm gonna have to go back and replace the canopy, the sealer fogged it. Grrrr

Thanks for looking.[/img]

Really nice thing, looks great.
I will convert my Chickenhawks, too, as I think they are pot-ugly.

actually before replaceing the canonpy with an new. try useing some future floor wax on the surfaces you want shiny again it paints on like acrylic clear coat and drys very hard and glossy also it cleans up with water, I have several times repaired superglue fogging with it. ( on clear parts as well as solid)

BTW there are 4 someodd pages dedicated to future's uses for the modeler in the finescale modeler "tips and tricks book..."

good luck...

Very odd conversion, definately has the scare factor!
Also the humourous one. Its a chicken-hawk!
:lol:

nice work!

I love the chicken hawk models, they are excellent for conversion kits

A+ man- oh and the paint scheme makes me think of vietnam and huey helicopters....

Yeah, what Deniper said. Also, use white pcv glue, or a dab of Futures Floor Wax in the corners to hold it in place. It'll work, trust me.

It looks a bit like a madcat from battletech.
