With the release of the Apocalypse supplement to Warhammer 40k I wanted to beef up my Ork army but with the impending change of codex I didn't want to spend time and money making something that may be invalidated. I'd been planning on making some aircraft for a long time and this seemed like the perfect time to do it. After I finished a pair of basic Fightas I started work on a fighta-bomma. The base model is a 1:32 scale BF-110G. I got rid of the propellers, added jets, flipped and shortened the wings, shortened the body, flipped the nose and all around kitbashed it. The turret was made from a ping-pong ball. Some strip styrene and a butt-load of rivits helped to orkify everything. As with the fightas I put in magnets so I can switch out the payloads as necessary. I'll probably make a second one of these eventually as I have a B-17 sitting around but first I need to make a couple stompas.
