Inspired by several other people here on the board, I have finally started customizing Snoopy the Flying Ace Hot Wheels brand to turn this one into a Wings of Glory fighter! I ended up buying at least 4 different brands and sizes of miniature Snoopy Flying Aces. The Hot Wheels brand Flying Ace Snoopy was chosen by my kids as the first one I'm suppose to work on. The size really is perfect for Wings of Glory as you can see in the photos. The base and dog house are made of metal. The actual Snoopy Flying Ace on top is plastic. Which was a bit of a surprise! I think it'll need a tiny bit of touch up paint before I mount it to the stand.
I wanted to add tiny WW1 looking machine guns on each side of the Dog House, but I haven't ordered any yet. Not sure if I am gonna take them from a model kit or not. I'll have to look at cheap options there.
Here are the first photos. I'll post more up as I make progress. I may end up making six or 8 of these Hot Wheels ones at a time. I've already ordered half a dozen of the Hot Wheels from ebay...
