    Seems like Universe Ultra Silverbolt, or Skyfall or any of those would be a better base figure for AirRaid. Good luck, I'm sure it will come out snazzy.

    Wow, are you planning on making them all MP size? That would be awesome. Even more so if they are going to combine.

    I'm not sure about your Varnish question. Fortunately I've never had trouble with paint flaking before. What kind of paint are you going to use?

    If you ask me, Humbrol Varnish 35 gloss is strong as steel.

    Would you not consider using some parts from an MP Starscream with MP Skywarp to make MP Air Raid - i.e. the white arms, legs and red chest? Save some painting....

    Hey mate,

    I wish you the best of luck with your project!
    However, do you plan to mod him? I don't see how he's going to look anything like Air Raid otherwise? I'm sure you've got a good plan though, keep up the good work! :thumbs2:
