Dirk HeyerHi Dave,
the scratch built pylons and additional Hellfires enhance the Predator really!
And the additional lenses gives the technical kick!
I like those little jewels.
The Predator is not my favorite airplane ( it is unmanned 🙂 and sadly the future..) but your model is highly recommendet, indeed!

Dave Fassett AutorThank you all for the great comments. I have another 72nd Predator build planned in which I will be painting it in a three tone digital gray "what-if" paint scheme. I will probably build it along with a pair of Reapers.

Dave Fassett AutorThank you Sean. I can not take credit for the base. A good friend of mine Mr. Richard Kern did it and the base for my 1/144 E-2C Hawkeye.

Album info
This is the first release of the Predator by Accurate Miniatures back in 08. I updated the FLIR head and added reflectors to it to simulate the actual lenses. This kit did not come with the Hellfires, pylons, or rails, so I had to scratch build the pylons and out sourced the rails and Hellfires from an Academy Apache. RBF flags are from Eduards and the chaulks are scratch built. I painted the kit using Model Master Acrylics and used the kits decals which went on without a problem. Weathering was kept to a minimum with only slight fading and post shading which was accomplished using pastels.
