custom classics Aerialbots
Just time to upload this... more pics after the work Christmas party
Edit: I'd been sitting on a stack of Thundercrackers for these guys for about a year, but the final push to do them was when my son got Skydive on Transformers Legends and I just kept getting Fireflights.
I used a mixture of G1, KO G1 and movie parts for these (the only movie part was Fireflight's wings). I used the head from the Leader-1 Starscream conversion kit for Slingshot.
Regrettably Skydive and Fireflight have exposed head syndrome in alt mode. Air Raid is a part-former - you just have to pull his nose cone off and reposition it when transforming.
I started off using metal pins for the tail assemblies but realised plastic twist ties were just as effective and easier to use.
I particularly like Fireflight's jet mode and Slingshot's robot mode.
I have some G1 Aerialbots stickers on order from Reprolabels which should finish these off nicely.
I had to paint Air Raid and Fireflight twice after mistaking a can of grey primer for clear dullcote
And a moment's silence for the KO classics Seeker I destroyed figuring out how to do these.
