Mainly modding the wings on Air Raid/Airazor so they are more F-22 like and making mods to their legs so that Superion has a proper sized forearm.
For hands, would like to create jointed fingers that can grasp and then extend into faux missles/guns under the wings in vehicle mode.
As I want to eventually move into full limbs and other parts, my question is, will Green Puty be strong enough to make hands and wings from.
If not, what would be a suitable material to sculpt custom parts from?

Get Styrene as it is a plastic and likely going to be stronger than putty. I'm still learning how to use Styrene myself but from what i've seen here people seem to like it a lot.
Modellers Choice carrys it though it is expensive. I know a guy so I got a large roll for far less than retail prices...which is good cause having scrap pieces to work with means money well spent and not wasted.
I am working on making a diorama for one of my custom Gremlins 2 figures using Styrene and few other things as well. Give it a try would be my suggestion. Sculpey is fine and dandy for small fragile things you dont play with, but not longterm imo.
First time Modder.
