WarHawk 40k
Test fitting the kit before starting the mods. I really like the engineering of this series of P40s from Airfix.
Basic paint scheme complete
Mocking up the basic design of my "transformer". The lines of the craft really do convey the "hawk" impression, and so this flight of fancy was born.
My first trial of the AK Light Rust wash and I like the result
Verifying the LED installation from a breadboard. After this, I transferred the circuit to a small piece of protoboard.
There are a range of LEDs on the model (cockpit, nose, crown/head, controller).
They are controlled by a simple RC-oscillator driven CD4060 ripple counter.

The base is just some high density foam offcuts stuck together, carved and lathered with tiling grout.
All the electronics fit on a small piece of protoboard that got hot-glued into the base.
Some shots of the model after completing the assembly and finishing, but not powered on.
With power applied, the LEDs all strobe at different rates for a pseudo-random effect

Thst's a cool thing!
An unusual way of presenting an aircraft, but one that draws attention!
Really like it👍👍
