I got this fox in a lot of parts. It had a few pieces snapped off, the ENTIRE kit was glued stiff. Even the rubber caps, including the cockpit being glued shut, and it was just in awful shape. The gun from the back was completely missing, but the armature was still there. So I replaced the gun with a part from a gundam, and replaced the missing silver tail piece, with the stabilizer from a berserk fuhrer's foot! I may still put a new gun inside the tail, but I haven't found one that I like yet. But for now, it's done. The gun on the back still has full range of motion like the original, too! And with a fresh coat of paint its looking much less sad than before! I was so sad that I might have to buy a new one, because this one was just so bad when I got it. But a little TLC and I'm proud to own this shadow fox. ^_^ I also have some bullet belt pieces that I am trying to figure out how to connect to the gun for some details. And I think I might do something on the pegs on the shoulders, where there are little silver caps missing.

Had I not seen the original, I would think this was it! Very well done! Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! I love how ya painted the "mesh" parts silver. I may have to borrow that ideas when mine arrives tomorrow. And the detail on the tail....I am jealous of your steady hand
