Nightfighter Drone

This is my latest work to be finished, I've not done a lot of sci-fi recently so this has been a bit of a release.

This is  Hummel drone from Ma.K (Machinen krieger), I got it from Japan and it cost me a pretty penny as I got slammed for import duty.
The kit is of a Drone rocket fighter used by the Strahl Defence Forces, its derived from a manned version of this craft called a Fledermaus (Bat), the kit gives you a manned cockpit but I bought the kit as the Hummel version (Hummel means Bumble Bee in German)
I thought the Drone version needed some spicing up, so I gave it a bit of German WW2 nightfighter treatment, I scratchbuilt the radar aerials on the front, which is pretty much the main changes I made.
Here's what it looks like.

Woah, that's  one scary looking vehicle.  At 1/20 scale I'm guessing it's still a pretty large model.  I mean it looks like the real thing!  

Your camouflage work on this one is truly superb.

Very nice, do love the mottled camo scheme, very authentic. Odd scale, would have imagined it would be 1/35 or 1/24, but I guess its a nice standalone model in any case.

It is a very strange scale I must admit, but most of the  MaK stuff is 1/20 scale.
I'm not sure why they picked that scale but I assume it was to make a decent size figure in the fighting suit kits that have been produced.
I'm currently working on anothe bigger suit called a Grosser Hund (big dog)
I'll post that one when finished.
