Styline Scoop!Needed to do something to the hood area, so I added an old Styline Scoop from a 1960's AMT 3n1 Kit.  Here is the Raider with another coat of Primer/Filler. I also put the Engines in place for a quick mock-up.  Front View!  More Coming...

At first I thought this was going to look a bit like a Vette stuck on a space craft....I should have known better being it was getting tweaked by Ira.
What really impresses me is how subtle the merge between the two is. From the front it's obviously a Vette but the way it blends into the rest of the model with all the vents engines etc. is pure art! Chaulk up yet another amazing model from Ira.

I am finishing up a "How To" showing all the steps for adding VooDooFX Lighting & Effects to the Mobius Raider.  Watch for it, Coming Soon...

More Vents!I carved down the Rear Roof Section on more of an angle for a better fit. Then I glued it in place.  Next I glued the Cabin Shielding in place behind the Roof. Then I added putty around the Rear Roof Section and sanded it smooth.  Here it is after a coat of Primer.  More Coming...
