Romulan Bird of Prey

By Kevin Stooksbury


This is the original 1978 issue of the AMT Romulan Bird of Prey. My restoration included replacing the inaccurate globe shaped engine parts with domes I cast from resin, drilling out all of the sensor "holes" and filling them with "Kyrstal Klear", adding a weapons emitter to the hull, and cutting off the engine exhausts with a razor saw so I could put on more accurate ones made from styrene tubing. Aftermarket decals (JT Graphics) came to the rescue and replaced the tattered original markings. I used Gunze Sangyo acrylics to paint and weather the ship. The colors are a very light camouflage grey, radome tan and off white.
