Deff Kopta Kit Bash = Deff Speeders

As I might have mentioned, I'm not terribly happy with the Ork Def Koptas, for the same reason I didn't like the Dwarf Gyrocopters; the blades keep snapping off.  So, I'm going to kit bash some Deff Koptas with the AT-43 Karmans King Buggy Unit Box (which I got off from Amazon).



The front and rear guns will come off with a simple twist.  You will have to be gentle or the front grill will come off as well (happened twice).  You can glue the grill back on, it's not a big deal.  The pilot can now essentially be rotated out of the seat by pushing gently on the back of his head.  He's only held on with a single point glue attachment near his rump.  





I'm diggin' it already.  I may not have to do a lot of modification to this at all; we'll see what happens.  I am going to try to mimic the front of this 'Deff Speeder' with the front of the Dakka Jet to achieve some unity with the rest of the army.  I may add a rear spoiler or fin... 

I'm feeling positive about this kit bash, which is fortunate as ...  I bought a lot of this kit.  




The biggest question for me right now is if I add Buzz Saws to 2 of the 'Deff Speeders'.
