A puppets war kryptek camo'ed vtol. The Data Enforcement Agency is not above penthouse no-knock remodeling with this gunship. Some hackers need to be taken care of swiftly and with extreme prejudice. Yea, not an infinity model, but can work for it, especially with the optional cargo module that can carry tags or troops.

I mean, Santiago Knights don't just fall out of the sky, something has to get them there.

That looks absolutely stunning..

Love the HUD pattern on the canopy!

The paint job on that thing is bananas! Amazing stuff!

Paint job's really nice
The miniature itself is "meh" ... way too many weapons that are also too big for a frame this size
Also there's a good reason why attack-craft kind of vehicles have turrets under the frame and not above (and with this kind of propulsion, it's not going to be a fighter-interceptor)

>>I agree on the size of the weapons but not the quantity, two main forward guns and rocket pods, plus a dorsal turret I think is about as ridiculous as the loadouts a lot of TAGs carry, or even infantry. An apache can carry 16 hellfires and 4 stingers plus the main cannon which can puncture tanks (small ones). A normal US soldier carries an M4 which is a very small light weapon. The size of weapons most 28mm figures carry, even in infinity which I grant are less ridiculous, are enormous, even if they are constructed of space age light materials.

I never claimed it was a fighter interceptor, I claimed it was an attack craft (ground attack I should have clarified) that provides support or ferries troops in rapid detachable containers. and being one that exists in a city it likly has more to fear from the sky above it or skycrapers above it and thus a turret on top actually makes sense. The only other craft that typically had this in history were bombers, because fighers almost always like to attack from above. Therefore while it is not an air superiority fighter, knowing drones or other aircraft may seek it out a turret on top with a high ROF weapon makes sense. Granted with mini-guns that large it would have a hard time staying upright when the turret moved or fired =) "its a feature "

Considering the original model is pretty much modeled after the C&C Orca Fighter, it does seem a bit odd for a fighter to have that gun. Regardless, it works great as a light IFV landing craft that can lend fire support once landed.

I've always been a fan of Third Fate Creations's stuff. I don't think it's something I'd like on my models, but each and every one is a very unique art piece on its own.

The cockpit window is especially awesome. Love the hexagons.
