So, you 3D modeled new rotors and skids, is that right? Looks good. Are you going to do the gun mount under the cockpit?

[Blackacre]

Thanks.

Yep, the nose cannon is up next. After that comes the fuselage and then the gimmick gearing for the thumb operated rotor drive. Am just waiting on a beater parts fuselage to arrive so that I can dismantle it and model everything.

Should be easy to scale it all up for a 6 inch compatible print once I'm done.

The most difficult part was getting the dimensions locked in to let me retain the original pressure fit that keeps the skids locked into the fuselage.

The original designer(s) really knew their craft.

A Classified scale Dragonfly sounds awesome. After that, how about a Classified scale USS Flagg?

I wish! I can't even fit the original one in my house.

I modified my Dragonfly to fit modern 3.75" Wild Bill and even that was a pain to do. I can't imagine a Classified figure...haha.
