I got, and finished my Kestrels today: They are really awesome, i'll be ordering from GZG soon, and i'll be getting these too:
They'll be sitting on the running boards:
I envision it as a Sci-Fi little bird, that can drop a team of 4 special forces types… Stealth and a chin mounted plasma gun, along with some missiles give it a bite…

Wow, that was fast, Nice work as usual. Haha, I could say the same about the shipping! I couldn't help myself, these are just too cool, I think I spent a good 10 minutes flying around the living room making laser noises. I'm pretty sure my wife had thought I had finally lost it. |

Those look great, good call on the GZG troops to be positioned sitting on the running boards they should really add a extra bit of a wow factor. |

Great work! I started on mine when they came yesterday as well, but you got a lot more done than I did. Jeff |

Okay, now I have to find a way of getting these into one of my armies, curse you! |

Thanks guys! It's a little hard to tell in the photos, but I painted black, and then used an airbrush and a mesh screen to spray on a dark grey. It provides a little bit of a pattern, but hardly noticeable. I was looking for a "carbon fiber" kinda look since I figured these would be stealth… |

Mine just arrived today, and I'm very impressed with it. The Mark 2 should be quite popular once it's remade and released. @MrHarold – nice idea with the seated NAC figures. I think you just helped me decide which army my Kestrel will support. :) -Chris K. |

Mine turned up today, also. Great model. I think I'm going to use magnets for the chin gun, it seems like it might be prone to breakage if rigidly fixed in place. |

Added some more decals and made some bases:
Thanks! |

You know what would look really good as a big brother to these Kestrel VTOL's would be the Chinese lander from Combat Wombat as they have the same style cockpits which is a very noticeable feature on these models.
