are you keeping the original legs etc ? I am struggling to visualise this any other way.

If this is a relic then will it look relicy or will it be a shiney new repaint ?

I think it would look fantastic in derelict condition ? red paint flaking away to reveal rusty metal underneath ? partially torn away Shad logo ?

the back hatch is quite small, would the Vamp machine gun fit in there ?

most of the cockpit from this: http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/customs ... index.html (the red jet)
had to rip it out & cut it all down, seat had to cut totally apart, some of the back & head rest was fitted to the back of the front compartment in the red skull, but most of the front compartment had to go. trimmed off the insides of the eyes, fitted the console. getting red of the ridiculous eye lasers!
replacing the chin guns with 30mm anti tank guns & fitting one massive one underneath, housed in the cargo compartment.
still not decided what to do with the back compartment, it needs some kind of gun........
this thing is gonna be VERY heavily armed!
still have the problem of dealing with the booster feet, without the red bits they just dont look sturdy enough to hold the damn thing! any ideas? i would consider totally replacing the boosters, im thinking something starwars might do the trick???????

You could replace the eye guns with two eyeballs on springs.
