Every so often I'll find a good deal on some Model Kits which allow some freedom of expression in the building.
Recently I ran into an on-line sale that I just couldn't pass up which is where I picked up both the ISM & Ulysses Fliskits.
Looking at the Ulysses fins and square styrene accent spars got me thinking about what other interesting modifications I could make without completely changing the original look.
With some Evergreen 1/2 round, a few bits of scrap tubing, some rolled computer paper do-dads and a good amount of tiny Riveting. I think i've added must a bit more interest to the kit. altering flat part of the fin pattern also seem to help my eye. I'm hoping it whistles on the way up:)

This is my Fliskits Ulysses, posing with it's mutant sibling, a goony Ulysses. The goony is the larger one.

The Ulysses is NOT a cardmodel - it's a real model - so I didn't make a MMax cardmodel of it since that would just be copying.

I'll be able to say how it flies once the rain stops.
