Since I already had a pair of Vultures and Madcats, I decided to modify them slightly. I swapped arms between the two. The double barrel arms of the Vulture may be a stretch for the Madcat's weapons, but they seemed like a good fit to me. Plus I didn't want to waste the mini or over duplicate.

I assembled the mini and then primed it. I then coated it black. I drybrushed it in white in a light coat so that the black details would stick out but with a worn look. I was looking for a very worn look, as if either the original white paint was removed in battle or if it was originally black and it took wind blown damage. I did the cockpit area in metallic green over a dark blue. I painted on the hazard strips (also in the rear, but not pictured) and applied some water slide decals and attached it to the base. The base was filled in with sand grains and bushes. When all was set, I applied a coat of glaze to protect and seal it.
