USS Prometheus - Red River Rocketry
 
5 Attachment(s)
I have been digging into my "started but unfinished" kits this weekend and started to work on a few. Here is my "armored" USS Prometheus. It was semi-built when I got it at one of our NARHAM's club Xmas party. Added some "armor plating" to the fins and "engines"; and a "upper spine" re-inforcement for some details. I think the difference in fin configuration was already like that when I got it. Added some left over decals from the Estes USS Atlantis and other custom decals.

Close ups. Really had fun finishing it and adding the decals. All that is left now is a clear coat. Enjoy!

Nicely done. :cool: This one is in my build pile as well. Sharp looking bird.

Only five years later and I've finished mine! I should say re-finished mine. I was unhappy with the way the wings looked and repositioned them. I like the idea of adding decals from past projects. I'll have to see what I have left over when I get home today.

¡Que ingrato soy! I never thanked anyone for the nice comments on my built. Thanks guys, sorry it took this long to respond. Bill, that is one good looking model. Post more pictures if you add more decals. This is one bird I do not see often on a thread.

Right now it is in storage somewhere in DC as I moved overseas. Will be reunited with it and the rest of the fleet in a few years.

Folks, if you have one, show off our Prometheus!

I'm heading downstairs to get the Stratos. I'm on a roll. :D

The two black stripes, hexagon and two ovals go on the top centerline.
No, this hasn't maidened yet.
When I became a BAR I was only able to find two RRR kits: this one and the Aggressor.
I REALLY wanted to find a Predator.
If you can find the time, maybe a build thread on the Stratos?
Laters.
