Hello!
In a reply to my other thread, guess what appeared under the tree on Christmas morning? A whole lot of modern 1:18th humvees, helicopters, and armored vehicles, AND the ROC Night Raven I have been itching to get my hands on and modify. To clarify for people who did not read the thread before, I thought the Night Raven looked a bit odd with its long neck. So, I decided to shorten it. In my Joe Verse, the Roc Night raven is the X-77 Razor, a prototype fighter in which the pilot interfaces with an onboard computer, but anyway, I liked it with the neck shorter. After a while, I found that it really would be a simple fix. What I did was I opened up the plane (Be careful, there is a cap thing at the very back that is rubber and attached to both halves so the two halves will go at a 70 degree angle at best) Once inside, I removed the entire cocking mechanism to get rid of any force that would go against the neck once it was glued in to its farthest-in position. Currently, I just have it taped with shipping tape until my dad brings back some Epoxy from the hangar. Anyways, here is how it looked BEFORE. Here is how it looks NOW: |

Thanks! It really is a matter of opinion and a small alteration, but I like it
