WH40K - Fighta Bomma project



I plan to convert a 1/48 model of a Grumman Skyrocket into an Ork Fighta Bomma. I wanted an unusual looking plane, not too expensive ($29.95 at the local Toyworld). I liked the twin engines (to be replaced with jets) and the twin tail. The plan is to scrap some old armour kits and raid the bits box to add armour plating, guns, bombs, teeth etc to the original model. It will have to have a heavily converted ork pilot - with flying helmet, goggles and fluttering scarf of course. I think one of the new Kommandos gasmask heads would be appropriate. Also, this is an opportunity to use a failed Wartrukk rebuild as the 'launch trolley'.

Reviews of the Minicraft kit here and here.
