SST Slingshot

[HoldenA]

Anyone have any suggestions for possible in print models to use or easily convert into an M.I. Slingshot drop boat?

This might do, if you don't mind card models. It's got USMC markings, but it should be easy enough to hide them: http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/index.php?view=product&product=168

There's also several other ground vehicles on the site which may be of use.

That is nice, but I personally don't much care for paper models.

I was hoping to find a model that has the twin tail fins and the jets on the side. I know there are a lot of cool sci-fi jet models out there, but I'm hoping to find one that looks either pretty close to the sling shot or can be modded to it.

I had actually seen that already, that guys stuff is amazing. I really is a shame the model was never produced (and that the game was discontinued in general). I'm looking to make a couple of models to paint/play with that look like that basically.

I was hoping there was a model out there with tail fins like this one: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1900035 but that has side jets that match up better with the look of the Slingshot.

I used a Crow lander. But it is closer to a Valkyrie: http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/25vtol.htm
