Welcome to the Royal Commonwealth Ministry of Space. It’s Britian gone to space... odd idea? Well it comes from a great comic called “Ministry of Space”... pretty cool read.

Thunderchild is a fighter/patrol ship. It’s build takes from this: http://www.ffbooks.co.uk/images/n24/n122765.jpg with just a hint o’ http://classic-space.com/concept/?g=SmallShips&n=117 (the drop seat canopy has been on the “to do” list for a whie)

Great cockpit area. The battery pack greebs were perfect for the (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) You do realize ambassador and Britian don't have the best history... Great MOC though! I love the mass produced/ heavily used colour scheme that is still sharp enough to make an impression...
