    "Ailon" - Legion Vehicon Jet Upgrade Kit

    Tired of your Vehicons being stuck on the ground all the time? Ever want to see a flying car?

    The Ailon - Legion Vehicon Jet Upgrade Kit turns you Legion Vehicon toy into a flying car, with new wings and a new nosecone! Ailon attaches to Legion Vehicon using the existing 3mm connectors, no modifications required!

    [​IMG]

    The Ailon Wings feature two 3mm ports (one on the wing, one on the rear wing), allowing weapons and other accessories to be attached. Wings are attached to Side Binders via 3mm clips, so other 3mm clip weapons can be attached in place of the Ailon Wings.

    In Robot Mode, the wings of Ailon fold back, decreasing the wingspan to keep your Vehicon army close together. The 3mm ports remain usable for arming Vehicon with more 3mm weapons.

    Thanks. :) 

    Cool. Good luck finding more Vehicons. I'm currently at 3. :) 

    Thanks. :D  One Legion Vehicon is never enough. At least 2, for Ailon and Zirca. ;) 

    Thanks dinodigger. :thumb 

    This may be the only way one can afford an ARMY of Jet-transforming Vehicons! ;) 

    I'm working on something for the RID Vehicon (well, more specifically the AM version). A jet conversion...I don't think so. The deluxe Jet Vehicon is pretty nice if you ask me. :)

    Yeah, it is, if you can find and then afford one.

    Yeah, the Jet doesn't seem to come by easily. Regardless, a deluxe Jet exists, so there's no need to Shapeways one for my collection. :) 

    Should come out slightly more polished, I guess. ;)  In WSF Polished I'd expect a smoother result, but with the chance of a few corners (e.g. the wing tips) being rounded, as Polished WSF gets polished in a tumbler with polishing stones/material/what-have-you.
