Convert CGL Victor to Lu Wei Bing...thoughts?
« on: 10 April 2023, 08:38:12 »
I want to convert four of  the CGL Victor models to represent Lu Wei Bings. Preferably using other CGL models as a source . What would you use to represent the LB 20-X AC arm, etc.

Quickest and closest swap would be the Lao Hu arm.  I might try that now.

Assuming you don't want to just buy a metal Lu Wei Bing from IWM, I'd pull a missile door off an Archer to splice onto the torso. (I'd do the missile tubes underneath by hacking and drilling the torso, maybe with plasticard after to get a nice smooth surface.)

It was bugging me all day.  The Lao Hu arm really makes it feel like an AC/20

You could contact IWM also if you just need specific parts too, the Lu Wei Bing comes with 2 launchers as it is 1 opened and 1 closed.  If you don't want cut off the torso, you could just put a plate over the SRM rack and drill holes for the MMLs or just leave it in a sealed mode.
