Free Model Contest #6

[Toddlea]

I wanted to start out the New Year by hosting another contest to feature some of the great free models out there.

So, here are the rules

1) Contest will run from now until June 30, 2021 23:59:59 PST.

2) Post a thread "build report" with pictures (if possible) while you are building the model. Add "Free Model #6" to the thread title to feature contest threads. Example: Free Model #6 – Cannon Jaguar E-Type. Add valid link somewhere in the thread so others may download model also. Please take picture(s) of finished model and post in thread.

3) Model must be available freely on the internet with a valid link. Model must be a legitimate download. Piracy is not acceptable in this forum. Model must exist as a complete download at the beginning of this contest. Sorry, no designing as you go.

All modifications are allowed. Recoloring, additional parts & extra detailing are all acceptable.

Entrants may enter as many times as you want.

Entries will be judged by forum members. Judging will remain open for 2 weeks after the end of contest so members may cast votes.

1st Place GPM Mark VIII Liberty with laser frames and tracks 1:25
2nd Place Orlik F-11 Tiger with laser frames and canopy 1:33

After some thinking, I decided I will enter this contest with an unusual (for me) subject.
This will be my entry:
