Never seen shots of the actual model before, and its pretty nifty. Looks to be a simple build too, being by the look of it racing car kits for the body and helecopter tails for the rear. Thinking of having a go at building one - not 100% accurate as i doubt very much i'd be able to get the exact parts, more a riff on the design.

Very cool! 
I've never seen pics of it like this; where are they from? Kevin |

Brilliant site this for any hardware fan/modeller, loads of shots of the Betty too. Came across it via Skiffy over on the Eagle Forum site. Thanks Skiffy. http://www.modelermagic.com/?cat=14 |

interesting how that make these. Looking at the betty from Alien res, it's just amazing how they create it from nothing. That is a craft I would like to learn. Is it foam core with some kind of coating? http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=6072 |

I thought that shuttle seen in the gateway scene was the one they already used in Terminator? |

"Robotech Regult parts in there." A pricey build then. |

I recognise the car but have no idea what it is. I've got a diecast model of one somewhere... The verticle fin appears to be a [not 100% accurate] Tornado F3 fin. I'd say the larger helicopter tail (the split part that forms the main sides of the rear is a Bell 202 or 212. Not sure about the two smaller "inner tail fins" that sit on top of the main tails. |

I seem to recall seeing a build thread for this model on another forum. |

Seems its a Porsche 956 for the body, indeed a Tornado tail, also a Cobra tail - and various Macross parts. |

Porsche 956 - having just checked that's the one I was picturing. Wouldn't have known it was a Porsche. I'm not convinced it's a Cobra tail. Although there were several variations on the tail design and a few had the required cut angle at the top they seem to look sleeker. I still think that could be a UH-1 tail. Looking closer, the little tails could be from a Westland Wessex (or an S-58 'Choctaw' in the US). I stand corrected, the Tornado tail is from a GR1, not an F3. That was a schoolboy error. |

Well, specific versions of craft would be very much appreciated please. 
Got the Porcshe and the Tornado but need to nail down the 'copter tail before i can really start.

Didn't get a PM. Do you have picts from the underside? I have a bunch of Model kits from my DS helmet build, and there might be some more bits. |

I used to think so as well, could never decide between that and the dropship. I think it's the tailfin design that makes it look like an HK. |

Ummm... dunno what happened there - but another PM has jsut been sent. Hope it gets through. Nope, no idea what's on the underside at all.

Looks like the vertical tail could be from a Panavia Tornado? |
|

Anybody know where it is located? I just remember the RPF thread saying there was a lot of detail on the underside. |

Already spotted - from a GR1 kit. 
I'm glad people can dissect stuff like this. I am pants at it. :\ |
