A project for GD09, this was based upon the only picture I could find of what is supposed to be the fabled ‘Stormbird’! While not wanting to waste the time and materials on an exact copy I mustered up what I already had to build a model which would be recognisable and keep to the spirit of the mighty troop transport!
