This is a quick mod I did from a Silver Comet...
Inspiration from a Marvin Christmas Ornament
The body tube is shortened by about an inch and a half..
I wanted a more "stubby" body...the nosecone is modified with Marvin's Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, since the Earth blocks his view of Venus... (and some weight added)
...and the fins are reshaped with beads added, to make it more "Duck Dogers."
I reshaped the fins, then put them back into the balsa die cuts (they fit back in very closely - the TTW tabs made them stay), shot them with several coats of grey primer and sanded them with a mouse sander, still in the die cuts...ended up really smooth!
Shot the entire model with Krylon silver and did the fins with Testor's transparent candy apple red. I made the Marvin and K-9 decals
