those of you who saw the movie "Wing Commander", in particular those of you who liked it (yes, both of you), will recognize this immediately.

(URL) I just added pics of the rapier carrying missiles. the inboard ones (with the 8t gears on the ends) are lightweight torpedos, while the outer ones are space-space missiles (designed to take down Kilrathi Fighters). I bring this up again (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

Not a bad depiction of the Rapier. The only suggestion that I have is to shorten the nose and lengthen the barrels. If you are interested, I can upload some CAD images of what I'm suggesting. Can't say that I was impressed with the fighter when I (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

(...) I'd love to see your suggestions. I just hope I'll have the parts for it. (...) the Rapier came about as a result of a suggestion from a friend. he asked how many legos I had, and when I told him "60 Gallons" (I doubt I will ever even TRY to (...)

Here's what I came up with: (URL) even work in a rotating cannon. That was a last minute change. It would be nice if the wheel pieces were red, but I don't think they're available in that color.

I only have one of those wheel pieces, unfortunately... but it IS red. hmm... that's a clever nose deign, but I'm not sure it wouldn't throw off the "lines" of the fighter (if something likes this can be said to have "lines").
