I'm currently in the process of 3D printing the Sky Hawk, scaled up for Action Force. It should probably fit that small line that Hasbro makes too.
I'm also re-creating the Dragonfly and scaling it up. I did a detailed recreation of the Rotors and skids so far and am happy with how they turned out. It took a lot of printing to get the skids to get the friction fit to work right. It's time consuming work to recreate these parts, but a lot of fun.
I finally got a beater fuselage that I could fully dismantle and potentially break. I am splitting the case this weekend so that I can discover how the thumb drive that spins the rotors work. I can't tell if they sonic welded or just glued the pieces together. It sort of looks like they have some spot welding going on, but unfortunately, I don't have much knowledge of what they were capable of back in '84 when it came to plastics toy construction.
After I get the gimmick done then the big job of modeling the fuselage is going to be draft and then printed in Action Force size. My Steel Brigade should hopefully fit.
