This is Halcyon's 1/72 Alien's Dropship, built stock and adding only a few minor details. I disregarded the instruction's colour scheme and painted the ship an overall flat medium grey. I figured these ships would be operating in all sorts of environments. I also disregarded a lot of the decals except for the warning decals where the pods elevate, and used only one "02" number on top.

I added a large white kangaroo from a Qantas airline kit, as I did this dropship as part of an Australian unit. I also added a serial number on top of one pod. I streaked the ship heavily with a flat charcoal color, dry- brushing it. I reckon these ships would get pretty messy tearing their way through all sorts of atmospheres.
