After making the Landrover's Mk.I & Mk.II could not resist to complete my original Series Thunderfighter Collection

after the Original Monogram Thunderfighter and the Quad now the HBB

starting with the Engines

[Dyson]

continuing the build with the updated Version of the Cockpit (a Model in the Model)

[Revell-Fan]

Cool! And your assessment is correct (a model in a model).

Great start to a real cool looking model.

Not familiar with the HBB. Is this a kit or a scratchbuild?

The HBB Thunder Fighter is from the episode "Happy Birthday Buck". It was the Fighter that Colonel Cornell Traeger flew to escape from a remote planet that he had been imprisoned on for 15 years.

The original filming model featured larger wings, fins, canards and the guns from the Colonial Viper:

small progress

beginning with building the main body inner framework

[Dyson]

try to fit the Cockpit

and noticed that the red square that has to be cut out for the cockpit

wont fit

so i made it a bit bigger and tried to make it so it will go with the lines of the main body

(don't know if i made a mistake with printing but all other parts fit well)
