Hi all,this is the first or second time that I post here so....Hello!!
My name is Ciro and I'm an Italian modeler.I'm more an armor guy but I've on my bench a Bronco Rq/Mq-1 Predator(1/48).
I would know wich part I need to use to depict a MQ-1 predator.
Take a look at this pictures....



I've aldo noted that there's a version with a ventral fin that I'm assume is correct for MQ version.(the one on the top)
I don't need to say that the instructions doesn't say which part is for one version and which one is for the other one.

Thank you to all.

Cheers

Ciro

Hi Ciro, I'm just at the decal stage of building one of these although I'm building the RQ Italian version.
As you say the instructions are bad but if you study the painting guide very hard you can make out which parts are needed for which version. As for the ventral fin I did not find any photos of a MQ with one but I was looking for RQ's so....

Hope that's of some help.

About the antennae - it's really a question regarding the particular mission, because the opposite is also correct - http://defense-update.com/images/predator050506-F-0000S-002.jpg
