Hello,

I'm intending to build up my own aircraft to represent a Vulture, just wondering if anyone could give me some ball park dimensions? I've seen some images where it looks as big as a Valkyrie and others where it looks considerably smaller. I'd just like to be in the ballpark of wingspan and length so it doesn't look like I'm modelling for advantage or anything like that.

If anyone has a Vulture and could measure it's important dimensions I'd be much appreciative!

I have one and ill compare it to a valkyrie tonight. The wings and tail are the same bits, but the hull is thinner.

More exact measurements tonight unless someone else helps.

Thanks, did you get a chance to measure it?

I think if it's as big as I'm thinking it is, my conversion will probably be too small.

Sorry dude, I forgot

doing it right now

11" long

Cool thanks! Yeah, my conversion is too small :( I was going to use my Stormtalon conversion as the Vulture, but it's only 8" wing span an 7" long. I could probably remake the wings to be 10", but can't really make it longer.

Darn. Im not sure how the model works, but the Vulture is pretty far forward body wise compared to the Valkyrie. As in there is less on the back. So if you can move the body forward and keep the wings/tail further back then you may get extra length to it.

There is a lot less body to the vulture and the what body it has is further forward to put it simply. So if the model you are using has the ability t move forward it still may work.

Yeah, not really. This was the conversion I was doing:

It's not really suited to a Vulture at it looks more like a high speed aircraft, it's just I hadn't figured out what I was going to use it for so I thought maybe I'd throw some Punisher cannons or Hunter killer missiles on it and use it as a Vulture.

Oh yea, I see. Just hope your regulars arent fussed by a smaller unit? I mean its not like they are easy to hide.
