    An old custom, WFC Airazor was really good out of the box, but something looked a bit off when compared to the cartoon and design preview, so I painted her abs and added the missing sides of her chest with epoxy.

    Thank you, she looks pretty much the same but with less visible orange.

    It's always felt weird to me that the figure didn't come out like this. It's such a small thing that makes her look so much more cartoon-accurate. The fact that it looks better in peregrine falcon mode too is icing on the cake.

    Guess they didn't include it to ease the retool into Skywarp, even the mushrom swivel vents on the chest could've been used to insert them as extra parts, hmm... maybe I can 3d print them.

    Great job. Never realized how much Legacy figs have shrunken down when compared to a basic sized Quickstrike decades ago.

    Thank you, thats an oversized knockoff Quickstrike, the original is tiny, it can't reach blackarachnias shoulder.

    Just finished the model, I'll update after the 1st test, guess these could be used for Nightbird customs and the upcoming Bluebolt too.

    The original mod is so well done and integrated that it is hard to notice. WELL DONE. ABOVE AND BEYOND.
