Looking for something that is similar to the vtol used in avatar. any ideas?

Jeff W15 May 2012 5:44 a.m. PST

These were about the closest I've found. They're from the mechwarrior range- pre-painted and cast in something that resembles vinyl. I have a couple I was going to repaint, but decided it ultimately wouldn't be worth the final result.

The cockpit is sized well enough for a single 15mm pilot, but the rest of the hull looks and feels a little too small for 15mm. The model name is the Skadi, they can be found fairly inexpensively online.

there is/was the vinyl kit for the ariel hunter/killers from the T-2 tmovie that are very close considering both have the same director its not that surprising

I like the look of that Skadi. Would be perfect for a one man attack/scout VTOL. Any chance of a pic of that next to a 15mm figure?

I'm not seeing one in a quick search. If no one else comes up with one, I can slap one up later this evening, when I get home.

I've seen some in Google, repainted, with a green camo job, and a blue windscreen.

Looked perfect next to some 15mm troops, for a one-man VTOL.

Here it is:


There are more pics on this blog, about halfway down the page:

If you think they are too small for 15mm, then they can be used as unmanned drones instead.

Someone needs to make a NOT-Skadi in 1/87.

Hellooooooo? Khurasan? CMG? ArmiesArmy????
