well.. i was working on this vehicle for about 2 and 1/2 weeks. i found some trouble working with it due to its electronics and all hard to fill spots. is not so hard once you know the model and what to expect. for those that wish to take on the NR on a future custom take notes... the windshield is a pain since is not only heat fused into plastic but also fakes off with a screw that make you believe you can take it out. another thing you should be aware is the light bulbs and electronics should not be taken apart.. i found it to difficult and only taped over some critical parts of it to not damage it with residual paint dust. another thing is the frontal tip and back tip.. (both are made of rubber and should not be taken off because is hard glued. the mechanics of the cockpit should be no problem but remember to not over paint the trigger to lower the cockpit seat.. it is made to go flush over the plastic so it leaves very little space between parts to move. well... i had my share of headaches and difficulties but overall is a good piece and a good challenge. remember to wash it carefully with warm water and soap even if it was just taken from the original box.. don't know why or if it was my model only but it felt greasy and too slippery when i took it out the box.. my advice, buy a used but complete and have fun. thanks to every one who PM me recommending spray paints for my custom. so far KRYLON Fusions are the way to go if you have a good hand for aerosol paint working. thanks takers for the tips. feel free to check my "NR custom album" on my profile and ask me if you need any help before taking yours apart. later

have not applied stickers until i get some spare ones.. as many of you may already know.. for some strange reason Hasbro included tanned stickers with the RoC Night Raven so if your work is in any other color that is not black or dark blue plastic the stickers will be pretty much useless.. here some more pics. will change them for more HD pics next time I'm under white light.
just a quick fix on colors for the pilot.. still working in the Arctic version.. and my wife wants me to make a Girl arctic pilot.. lolz.. so i need advice on female parts (i never had done one) top view with some of the custom camo.. not my best but i like the design Last edited by Cobra_Seph; 05-31-2010 at 01:24 AM.. |
