I thought I would post pictures of the Crusader I picked up & repainted from last year. I always would have loved a full Defiant setup, but really can't justify the current prices and they do take up a lot of display space as well. So I decided just to pick up a Crusader to get the coolest piece out of that set.
The first picture is the original unrestored shuttle, which was actually a lot more yellowed than I thought it would be (and moreso than the picture makes it appear). I opted to repaint it rather than retrobright due to the size, plus it gave me an excuse to make a few other changes. Since one of my nuisances with the original toy was that it didn't have any heat shielding/black bottom hull, I figured I would take care of that at the same time. It then ended up looking more like some alternate shuttle concepts that I remember seeing in the 80s-90s. I was also not a fan of the techno font used for the stickers on the original crusader, so I went with some Defiant stickers from Rattler Repros to finish this one off. |

Looks great and like a real shuttle color scheme too. I love it.
