That's looking ace  8)
Agree about it needing mudguards

Look forward to seeing it finished with some paint slapped on :)

Thanks!
Suggestion for a name so far is 'The Brown Streak' driven by 'Big Skid' Marx.

Cant find anything for mudguards without getting up so started on the next one.  This one needs weapons.

Lovely conversions; what about rockets for the second one?

That might work - thanks!  I've got a set of 1/72 3" rockets somewhere that would do.

I was thinking wing root mounted guns perhaps?

I've added an autocannon blister to the trike on the left hand side, I'm also going to add a caltrop dropper I think.
I need to work out what to to with the tail, might add a fan or similar. 
I need an instrument panel and a windscreen.

The thought was it's a fast lightly armoured interceptor - 'The Gunbird'
Was thinking of doing it in metal flake, it's a paint to do but looks ace If I get it right...

The Brown Streak is a blockade runner.  I'm going to add simple cycle wings as mudguards and I've added wire side fenders.

Thanks.  Had a look but I only need waist up.  The gunners arent any use.

Need to work out a paint scheme. 
Was thinking battered brown and rust for the Brown Streak.  The gunbird will be gunmetal with blue and white stripes.
