The Retro Scarlett was close to being an "Ultimate" Scarlett, but I had problems with the torso. She does come with the best Scarlett head in the ME. So I just did a simple kitbash with with painting and now I have my "Ultimate" 50th Scarlett:

Nice. I’m so tempted to do something similar but can’t bring myself to sacrifice my resolute Scarlett.

I just bit the bullet and got another one. My justification is that I'm one step closer to my Ultimate Original 13.

The Resolute torso is a big upgrade. I actually prefer the Resolute color scheme to the vintage, so I just need to learn to dremel to make my ultimate Scarlett.
I need a lot more Retro heads, though, to fit on all the Resolutes I have accumulated.

You don't need to demel the head. Just drill into it. I can't remember the bit size but I'll post it when I can. I think I drilled into the hole about 3/16ths of an inch.

That’s a really nice combination for an ultimate Scarlett

If you can let me know the size, I'd really appreciate it.

It's a 9/64 drill bit.
