I'll admit that the arm looks a little wimpy, especially the claw.  If
anyone can come up with a better idea let me know and I'll incorporate it.
As is evident in the pictures I was originally going to post without any
sort of claw, but I added the three finger one at the last minute.  Not the
greatest, but you get the idea.

I just found the Swordfish this afternoon and I've seen your Redtail before.
I like both of them and I'm a bit envious of the Redtail.

Within the context of the Bebop universe I too love the MONO pod concept,
but to do the MONO pod on this MOC would have really increased the size and
I don't think I have the bricks to do it (as it stands I'm getting really
low on white and tan), and not without the MOC getting a rainbow paintjob.
Not to mention I really wanted to use the Jedi Starfighter canopy on
something.  But I do have two T-3 trikes so maybe one day I'll give it a
shot.  Maybe I'll do a rendition of the Redtail and I'll try it there.

Thanks for the comments.

Jason

(...) I'm not familiar with the craft in question, but when I think of claws in LEGO, I think of this: (URL) that work? Allister (24 years ago, 4-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)
