Weapon system

 2 tube large missile launcher mounted on the hip armour. The launcher is made from plastic sheet, square plastic rod and some milliput. Each missile is made by inserting  the aft section of 1/72 high drag mk82 bomb to a acrylic rod.
The red end of the missiles are part from kotobukiya.

4 tube small missile launchers on the shoulder are made from styrene sheets. The internal of the launchers are strengthen with basha wood and pieces of unwanted plastic spurs. Sighting system on each launcher are made with milliput. These launchers are more weathered than the rest of the model as I want to emphasize that these are line removable items. Thus the amount of aging on them will not be same as the body frame. The launchers are hazed with white after the usual wash and staining to give them a faded look.

I make a additional sighting and targeting pod to replace a beam sable on the thruster unit. The pod is make from square rod, styrene sheet and a kotobukiya part.

The green patch on the launcher and edge of the chest are stickers. They are used to cover up cracks which occurs  after a fall.

The bare grey area in front of the neck is suppose to have a blue plate with small exhaust vents. This too was lost during the fall.

Beam rifle and shield from MG RX-178. The hog marking on the shield is from a twobob 1/48 F-16 decal sheet.
