    Here is my inexpensive solution for a MP scale Conehead Seeker. It has some flaws, but overall I'm very happy with how this all came together. I'd love to own the Igear PP03 series seekers but can't afford them at the going rate.

    Here's the parts you'll need if you want to duplicate (and/or improve) the project. and Here's the original thread for the inspiration: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/1037067-seeker-solution.html

    1 - KO TFC Uranos F-16 Falcon (Skydive) from Sirtoys.com - Obviously F-15 Eagle would be the perfect mold choice, but there's no KO of that as of yet.
    1 - KO TFC Uranos AV88 Harrier II (Slingshot) from Sirtoys.com (for the cone)
    1 - Universe Solar Storm Grappel - Head
    1 - G1 set of Seeker wings
    1 - G1 set of Seeker feet & shins (the shins will be trimmed down and become the tops of the feet)

    This is a pretty straightforward mod. You'll need all of the usual modding tools and supplies, glues and paints, etc. But you end up with an exact seeker height Conehead to add to your collection. I made Thrust first because he was always my favorite Conehead, but I've already ordered 2 more fo each KO from Sirtoys to complete the trio.

    Comments/questions welcomed.

    That looks fantastic. Alt mode looks spot on. Are you going to do the others?

    Nice work and that takes some ingenuity. Just out of curiosity, what does that leave you left with from the two KOs?

    Thanks to all for the positive feedback!

    @ warhawk - Yes I plan on doing Dirge & Ramjet too.

    @gargunkle - From the F-16 Falcon all that is left is the rear wings, From the Harrier everything BUT the nosecone is still there.
