I bought a second hand dropship model some years back, and performed some radical surgery to try to get it to look more like an Aliens style dropship. I now find myself wanting to do two more, so can anyone recognise the donor kit? I suspect it may have been a CAV model.. but not sure?

The bashed version is here:

Great looking dropship.
Looks a lot like the Corvus vtol from Scotia Grendel, might be worth checking out if you can't find the original kit.

I think it started as a CAV ghast, but it looks like the larger "True Scale"(10mm?) version to me: link

I'd say it's the larger version – the earlier twin pack Ghasts are really suitable for 6mm ground attack aircraft.

PS – Really thinking of stealing your idea :)

That is a CAV True Scale Malvernian Ghast Gunship. You can find it on the Reaper Minis webstore in the Robot Depot

along with other CAV models not supported in their CAV Strike Operations rules set.

cool dropship.

Thanks guys, that's the one… I had forgotten what radical surgery it was!

Pretty sure the little wings behind the cockpit came off of a GHQ Russian Hind. They are up-side down and backwards.

How large is it in truescale? I mean actual mini dimensions.
