I started this already in July, but didn't dare to post about this until it's ready. There has been interesting kit bashing projects by Neil (Space Fighter Kit Bash! | Project by djferrisbueller (1:72)) and Hikaru (Space fighter | Project by Hikaru (1:48)) and I wanted to hop on the bandwagon, but it would have taken time to order a BAe Hawk kit so I just publish this early. It is a spaceship/fighter and kit bashed.

There's no right or wrong to sci-fi in my opinion. One of the most iconic spaceships ever is a blue UK police telephone box!... So publish away mate 👍 I think it's looking fantastic! Great work. I look forward to more to come 😉 I'm deffo doing more with more kits and more time 💯

Uuh very interesting. Keep up the good work, mate! 😎
Very interesting to see projects like this. Kitbashing can be a lot of fun and it's very inspiring to see you guys build stuff like that.
I like to do similar projects as well, but I feel I am far too limited by my lack of imagination. Hope to learn a few things.
Picture 8: Did you heat up the plastic or use a vacuum former?

Now this is the kind of aircraft building that I can get behind. Many thumbs up for breathing some fresh air into this site. Bravo!👏

Thanks, everybody! 😄 @WhiteGlint I don't currently have a vacuum former so I heated 0,4mm plastic sheets over a candle and then fast pulled over the model. I saw this technique in one Japanese hobby magazine and wanted to try myself.

Hi S M, I read (in SCM) that some people place the plastic over the bread tester instead of a candle
In regards to the vacuum former, some people make their own with a box and a simple vacuum cleaner. Multiple videos in YouTube

After some wash with A.MIG Spaceship Wash it is ready. I took only a few quick photos that were a bit shaken.
