My first completed model of the new year and this part of the forum. Also my first plane is a few years.
This build is based on information from a club member who gave me the kit (comes with two drones, gave one away to another club member) a bird from F Co, 160th SOAR.
Yes, I rubbed the paint off the front left. It will look fine in the back of the display case/area that no one else looks at. I fear a fix will make it worse.
I don’t know why I have more weathering on my plane then I do my tanks but it is what it is. See @G-man69 sometimes I go overboard.

That looks really good! I wasn’t aware the Night stalkers used reapers but go figure. It looks very threatening in black! This makes me want to finish my Predator!

Thanks. I built the AM version years ago. Very similar. You should finish yours. Looks like your almost there.
This article makes it a different version. My understanding is that they are grey but he said he saw a black one like their helos. So I went with that information.
That looks really nice.
Quite surprised how small the body is though, although I bet the wing span is impressive.

Thanks. The body without nose pitot tube is about 4” and one wing is 3 3/4”, so around close to 8” total. If I am not mistaken they make a 1/48 version as well. I do have a weight in the nose to help keep it sitting flat.
Yeah maybe I will finish mine, not much left to do… I will need to find some Hellfire’s though as I used the kit ones for a another protect.
The 160th SOAR is a really interesting unit, Ive read the book In
The Company Of Heros at least 4 times its a autobiography of Michal Durant a night stalker pilot.
Eduard makes a set in 1/72. I would have to look around as I am not sure if this kit has them or not.

Yes Im aware of the Eduard set, but its a little pricy. Id appreciate if you check as if you have them I would be willing to buy them.
(Hopefully cheaper then Eduards.)
I will still look but an option. Seemed reasonable priced to me.

Your right that is a pretty good price!
If you like these, PM me your address.
The rest of the model might be bad but that rubbed off spot on the nose kept nagging me so I fixed good enough to put it to bed.

Thanks. It is the skunkmodels mold, Italeri and Kinetic have repopped it. Not sure which I had as it was in ziplock bag when I got it with no instructions or decals.
