ORIGINAL 1/72 Ed/IDA 'Cabra-Macho' gunship: I started with a front section of a Italieri 1/72 Mig-29 and the body of a Revell 1/48 Tomcat (bad, bad kit...), without the cockpit section, upside down. Lots of putty and sanding was used to connect the two parts. I sewed the mig29 'noose', and replaced with a superglue cap (the blue thing), and under that I connect the body of a gun of an old Imai Valkyrie (from Macross), to make the main plasma cannon.
The laser cannons pods are two frag-bombs dispensers, part of an old Airfix 1/72 Tornado kit, with some pieces of my spare box.
The rear 'wings' and 'fins' are from the mig29, with light modifications, and added many others assorted bits from the spare box. The missiles are from a Airfix 1/72 Nato missiles set.
The kit was painted with Citadel, Valejo, Tamiya and Hobbycores inks.
