Kitbash: FAB Nightbird

A while back, I got a spare FAB Arcee for $5 with an eye towards dyeing it. But it wouldn't take dye at room temperature, so I set it aside and largely forgot about it. But then I realized the other day that my new double boiler system might let me do the job safely, and it worked. Most of the pink plastic is painted over gloss black anyway, but the black dye base A) reduces the number of coats needed to look good and B) means no bright pink seams where I have to leave things unpainted for mechanical reasons. I know Nightbird isn't black, having done a few kitbashes of the ninja in the past, but this is Movieverse Nightbird. :)
