I always wanted a Dragonfly as a kid; never got one. I bought a TRU Locust from someone recently, and I didn't care for the color much, so this is my first stab at painting vehicles. I used Krylon Fusion, as so many recommended, and it seems to have work really well. I did a few small details, but nothing major. I was going to customize some pilots for this chopper, but I picked up the TRU SRO Air Command pack today, and what better pilot than Wild Bill? The figures' jumpsuits worked perfectly, IMO, for this chopper.

Does Wild Bill inside? I've been thinking of recovering my dragonfly he needs some new parts but I thought the new 25th specially Wild Bill would be hard to fit in.

That's sweet! The Dragonfly looks great in black and the TRU Will Bill is perfect. Nice job.

Awesome work. I picked one of those up at a yard sale a couple months ago, nothing wrong with it except some sun discoloration.

Great job with that chopper. I hope Hasbro re-releases this bird again. At the same time I hope they re-tool a few parts. I could not get my Wild Bill to fit in all that well.

I'm going to display it like it is shown in the picture, with the Bill/Ace hybrid remaining seated and Wild Bill proudly showing off his bird.

Fantastic! Why, oh why did I put the stickers on my recently-purchased Locust before trying just this sort of thing?
I really don't like the Locust coloring -- the choice of color is bad enough, IMHO, but the fact that it's unpainted, unweathered plastic really kills it. At least the original Dragonfly was green -- but after seeing the bbi helicopters and the 21st Century Toys take on the SuperCobra, the Locust just feels tiny and sad to me now. I picked it up for nostalgia's sake, but I really want to paint mine black now. Did you take it apart first? Law |

I took it straight out of the box and painted each of the parts individually before I put it together. That Krylon Fusion really works nicely. Then I did a clear sealer over everything once I got it together.
