ALIENS 1/144 - Colonial Marines - M577 APC -

ALIENS 1/144 - Colonial Marines - M577 APC - 1

Real simple resin kit bought of ebay of the APC. Should have really been completed months ago being such a simple kit ago but left on the shelf. Quite accurate being quite small, all the details are present from what i could tell.

Look forward to the day a 1/144 scale injection molded Dropship is produced and a new perfect APC to go inside.

Really easy to build and finish, filled in all the bubble holes in the resin, primed and painted, then droped, clean and fixed damage, primed, painted and then weathered.

That is freaking sweet mate!! I always thought the APC was grey in colour?? Maybe my tv/eyes are really knackered. The drop ship would be a cool build :)

Unless they did a further model, the only Dropship models I know of are

Halcyon styrene kit - 1/72
Aoshima die cast - 1/72
Fantastic Plastic resin kit - 1/144

Halsyon also did a 1/35 kit of the APC although there is a 1/72 resin kit.

Aoshima did a 1/72 diecast of the APC.

The Fantastic Plastic resin Dropship came with a 1/144 APC. This may be an APC that has been sold separately perhaps?
