Hi, anybody who has built one of these, how feasible would it be to move the wings and engines back to a similar position to the stormhawk? Anybody done it or have any examples? Would it look terrible?
I'm looking to convert up a flyer, I like the bigger wings of the nephilim, the stormhawk/talon kit just seems loads better value with lots of extra bits for customising so i don't know which one to take a punt on?
Thanks,

It isn't easily feasible to move the engines, not without taking a hack saw to it. The engines are part of the main body of the aircraft, while the wings are separate pieces that slot into the sides of the engines.

The rear section where you would want to mount the engines is pretty smooth and straight so if you did cut the engines off and move them back, mounting them wouldn't be a problem. You would then need to patch the nose where the engines were removed. If you know someone that bought a Stormhawk, the left over canopy/nose of the Stormtalon that's left over when you build the Stormhawk, could easily be used to fill in those major holes.

Thank you my man, much appreciated. Might see how feasible picking up the storm talon nose from a bird seller is
