I have two incomplete Vector Jets. Like very often in case of used toy airplanes the acrylic canopies are missing. Therefore I decided to turn one of them into a drone fighter. First I glued some isopor pieces into the cockpit and then I completed more or less the former form with acrylic paste. I also had to scratch-build new tailfins as they had gone lost. Afterwards I painted the whole airplane light grey. Only the engine taps and the exhaust ports I left green as they were. That is because they are made of rather elastic PVC and therefore paint would come off after a time. Rockets will be fixed later, when the paint has completely dried and does not come off by friction.
