hi guys!
This will be just relax build for me.im almost done with the skystriker jolly rogers version and will be making a pilot for it. This dragonfly helicopter is one of my fav vehicles back in the 80's, and good thing our friend Dom gave his collection to me as he wants it to be resurected..meaning giving it new look.well..i just gave him my first few treatments, as follows: - remove all those stickers, around 50 pieces of it, very small. - sanded the whole body - sanded the canopy (unfortunately the canopy is very brittle, i broke it!hahah) from lower grit to higher grit in progression. - remove all those loose parts with dried epoxy clay.will be replacing them later. - remove dirts and other oils/stuffs - primed for error checking BEFORE AND AFTER : BEFORE: snap shot from youtube as you can see that its black, full of silvering decals and its canopy is nearly opaque, visibilty inside is very hard. AFTER: this is my initial test before proceeding: some close up of the canopy, see the difference? you can almost see the figure through the glass canopy thats it for now.. again, this is just a relax build.maybe some add on weapons, and custom color scheme will be enough.i find the chopper very nice in design. so, what do you think? nath |

Can't wait to see this and the Skystriker completed. It would be nice if Hasbro releases the Dragonfly as well. If they do, hopefully they leave that as a two seater as modern figures can fit in the Dragonfly.
