Small Scale Military Headquarters

I have a spare BBI Zero that I want to modify somehow but I'm not sure what to do with it. I would rather do something interesting rather then just repainting it but I'm not sure what to do with it. I was thinking about trying to make an A7M Reppu out of it but it looks like a major rebuild. How about an A6M5? Any ideas?

How about a Japanese Zero float plane?

make a kamikaze plane out of it. This model of zero were used in large numbers as kamikazes. Scratch build a bomb, custom up a pilot, weather it heavily, and add oodles of flak damage.

Adding to Aferg's idea, the head from the XD Japanese machine gunner figure (I forgot the figure's name) would work perfectly for a kamikaze pilot. The figure has the headband and a great "psychotic" screaming expression. With minor trimming of the peg, it would very likely fit onto the BBI Japanese pilot's body

interesting idea. I used a head i had that had a scarf over the mouth, as lots of japanese pilots wore them, for some reason. I painted on a rising sun head band as well.

I plan to do another zero kamikaze at some point, cause i like 'em...i think i'll use Tman's head idea for the next one.

I know this sounds like a huge project, but I may try to turn it into an A7M Reppu . Wish me luck........
