At some point, I opened an unassembled Kazon Fighter kit, looked at the parts, and though 'A lot of those things look like car side scoops and stuff.' After pondering a bit, I pulled out a Monogram Mythos car kit and my razor saw and got to work.

I started knowing what would go into the front, and just kind of let the rest suggest itself to me. I ran out of big parts about 3/4th of the way through, and used an old tank turret to serve as the under-structure of the rear end. I did not use as much putty as the number of grafted pieces might suggest.

The sunset fade paint job was something I'd wanted to try for a while.
