I am working on several aircraft at once now, but a lot of the work lately has been filling and sanding and priming. I have been in the mood to do some scratchbuilding, so I decided to try to make the FANG 2 to add to my Cobra Air Force.
The FANG 2 is a unique design not based on a real life aircraft. It is a tilt-rotor like the V-22 Osprey, but is a one-man craft. I found this interesting kit in 1:72 to start from. The shape of the fuselage can be made to work, I think. ![]() I had to cut and sand the fuselage halves to make the overall shape narrower. I shortened the tail and capped it off with the end of a fuel tank to get the right shape. I also glued the nose of the kit on upside down to make it look a little more like the FANG 2. ![]() I constructed the pilot seat and the bottom set of wings out of styrene strip and sheet. ![]() Next I?ll have to figure out what to use for the engines and propellers. |

All of these are fantastic, but couldn't wait to click on this one since this vehicle falls way further into purely made up toy than say the Night Raven or the Rattler which have much firmer grips on copying reality. I look forward to seeing them all finished!

Oh wow, this is looking great. FANG II was the last vehicle I ever got in store during the original run so I eagerly await your finished model.
