Oh I like this. I'm thinking 3D printed panels to hide his hands and then unfold his arms downwards like you showed to give more space to accommodate a pilot. The front would need some reworking so it looks more like a small jet and not so much like a giant shuttle. I honestly think this can be done fairly easy. The hardest part will be the panels that hide the arms and I have a feeling it could be done with styrene as well.
Now I can't wait to start. How available is this mold I wonder? Ebay has a few transformers armada jetfire | eBay The hardest bit will be finding a complete one, the front landing gear is a mini con and the rear wheels are built into the shield so you could do with them bits You could do great things with this mold, i look forward to seeing what you come up with ....i just wish i was able to cast a proper Astrotrain head for mine, molding is beyond my abilities

I see complete he is pretty steep in price. I am looking at an incomplete one. If I go the 3rd printed route for missing parts I will investing a little more but it would make it a bit more unique. As far as ASTRO TRAIN goes. Can you swap the head with another bot? Maybe one with more of a resemblance?

I thought about the head swap idea for train, was looking at a classics iron hide but think it might be too small. then there is the big solar storm with the black head, would need bits cutting off but that might work Any other idea's?

Fantastic post. Reading two customizers trade ideas back and forth was fascinating. Your finished product looks great btw, way better than the original core you started with, job well done and executed.

This is awesome! Great job! That makes for an awesome Astrotrain and I dig the crossover aspects.
