AMT Bird of Prey
Hey, Not built a model kit in quite a while, and now I'm at uni I've got a bit more money to spend on things! It's not quite finished yet, still have to weather it a bit more and paint the rest of the feathers underneath, and cover it in a matte coat.
   This is a great release, really easy to put together, no gaps at all and hardly any cleaning up needed. The only problem I had was when gluing the top half of the hull to the bottom half, but I just tied it together and left it overnight. Comments welcome

Re: AMT Bird of Prey
That's a really gorgeous paint job! Looks super-accurate to my eye. Really captures the sweeping predatory majesty of the ship - the character of the BOP - superbly.
Great job! Last edited by Destructor1701; 11-17-2011 at 09:54 PM. Reason: removing stupidity. |

Re: AMT Bird of Prey
Thanks!
actually surprised myself with this one :P Just deciding whether or not to paint HMS Bounty on the side. Might leave it in the hands of the klingons.

Re: AMT Bird of Prey
I Have always loved the design of the bird of pray, and the Amt seems to be a reasonable kit. Just never been able to score one at the right time.
The paint job is spot on, thanks for sharing. Ozzy |

Re: AMT Bird of Prey
Beautiful job!
I've been sitting on one of these kits for a couple of years now. I refuse to build it until I can get my hands on one of Cobywan's wing kits. |

Re: AMT Bird of Prey

Re: AMT Bird of Prey
Very nice. The kit was re released by Round 2 recently, they improved the wing hinge detail and added landing gear.

Re: AMT Bird of Prey
I've seen this kit before and I think you are doing a fine job so far.
