Some unknown resin APC i bought of ebay, don't know how accurate it is all how much i will have to remodel any of this but looks like quite a few bubbles and flash will need to be removed before i get anywhere near painting. At first i though that very little work would be need to get this painted but to my untrained eye when it comes to resin looks like i will be relying in MrSurfacer soon.
Such an awesome design, know there is a 1/144 resin Dropship out there bit i got the patients to wait for that one to come along as a injection model in the future, probable from Japan. Also remember seeing a 1/144 Narcissus from Halycon? but in early 90's.
Painting this should the easiest model ive ever done, it all dark green.

the Alien 2 stuff is so iconic for me... i can watch that movie time and time again and will not get bored... i remember i have seen an U.S.S. Sulaco resin kit and i wanted it so bad, but now is virtually impossible to get, at least at a reasonable price (is not 1:144 obviously LOL)... in my opinion (of a rookie, of course) this guy needs a lot of work and seems a bit longer than the original, but i know is quite difficult to get something of this franchise in 1:144 scale, so congrats on this haul Ian... =)
Is it a Bootleg copy of the Konami Alien APC, or just a good 'likeness'?
It could be a recast of the APC that was included in the Fantastic Plastic drop ship kit.
Aoshima re-popped the Narcissus kit a few years ago and. I think, the 1/2500 Sulaco kit.
This is one kickass veh from the second movie of Aliens. One that is hard to find these days.
Chris - I mostly like Aliens as my 2nd favorite sci-fi after Empire Strikes Back, mostly. The hardware in Aliens is second to none.
Bluedonkey + Tony - From a little research ive done after reading these comments i reckon this is a recast of te Fantastic Plastic kit, master my Alfred Wong i think, comparing it the original cast to this makes it look quite bad. Quite a bit of warping espeacially on the gun turrets.
Dennis - Strange how kickass Aliens collectibles are hard to come by being as awesome as they are.
