Quest Intruder Kit Bash, Part 10, Details

The jet pods and guns are missing on this Interceptor look-alike. I wanted to add these details, but not an exact copy.

I started with some shaped dowels on the wing tips.

I was happy with the angled back end of the dowels, but the simple rounded front didn't look good.

I went through my spare parts and found two BT-5 nose cones. Cutting off the tips could make some ramjets, but set on the rounded dowel ends it didn't look right.

More on this (and a solution) in an upcoming post.

In kit-bashing there is usually some trial and error.

I noticed some rough plastic on the nose cone shoulder. This is where the nose cone was broken off the molding "trees".

I applied a drop of medium CA glue for a raised fill.

After drying hard, 

this was sanded to surface filling the rough recess.
