I dug this up in recent days as part of my house renovations. I've not bothered with it since converting the Terminator Salvation Moon Bloodgood figure to ballhips with Pilot Scarlett's lower half, which was when the movie toys had come out. The Maschinen Krieger line's Anti-Gravity Falke fighter craft is older by a couple years when bought off HLJ on sale for $35, iirc. I had assembled it then, but painted when I assigned Moon to be the pilot. I knew when I bought it that the Falke was only 20th scale, and had assumed any pilot for it would be a woman (or a child, lol).

To complete it I need to refit the cockpit to fit Moon, which seems to be possible but I've not found the right replacement for the current cockpit assembly. Moon's too tall in the hip-to-head length to allow the cockpit hatch to shut, and too long in the leg to allow the Falke's body shells to close. So any replacement cockpit innards will need to let Moon sit both lower and farther back while also allow her to fit in and out the hatch once I glue the shells together.

That's a mandatory need for completion. What I'd also *like* to do is add some foam to the empty innards of the pylons and body between the pilot and rear engine, to give the vehicle some heft. Maybe cotton balls glued in place will suffice. I'd also like to ball-joint the winglets at either side. Currently they only swivelspin in place, because I've not glued them in. I also need to add the relevant vehicle markings to identify it in-story.

I was going to place this vehicle in the 26th Century. Humanity was rebuilding its humbers after losing >98% of the population in the mid-21st Century due to a series of calamities beginning with the Psychic Wars. Humanity was beating back the Deviant hordes that swarmed the surface and reclaiming territory. By the time of this Pilot and her Falke, the Grendel-Khan Orion Assante 1st was waging war against Great Japan. One of Col Dodger's Lost Archives was reclaimed and information on it detailed the basics of anti-gravity technology as was then being researched by the BattleForce 2100 team prior to the outbreak of the Psychic Wars.

The Khan's research program resulted in the Falke being the first attempt at a battle-ready anti-gravity vehicle; a line of research that would ultimately culminate with the warp-drive vehicles of 29th Century Starfleet. The Falke is manuevered via controlling the thrust output of the traditional air-compression jet engine at rear, the two winglets at either side, and the output intensity of the three anti-gravity generators at the vehicle bottom. The vehicle has no landing gear and rest directly on the anti-gravity domes as they're composed of 20cm-thick lead/iron spheres. Such containment is to keep the generators from blasting the environs with hard x-rays. The vehicle is VTOL-capable and can change from fixed-wing style flying to rotor-wing style in an instant, limited only by how hard a lurch the pilot can take. The vehicle can reach up to 650 miles per hour, and can break the sound barrier in a dive.
