I've just finished uploading the rest of the related pictures to the Scorpion.

Once I had the Scorpions built, I decided they needed to have a field
delivery system and so the Condor was born:

The wings are variable position depending on flight conditions. It's also a
VTOL, if it wasn't obvious from some of the pictures. :)

Once the carried module/vehicle has been dropped off, the Condor has enough
armament to allow it to function in a ground support role.

The one area that will likely be revised would be the landing gear (no
comments, Muffin Head! <G>) but I need to get some more click hinges first.

I've also built a troop/cargo module for use when Scorpions aren't needed
for a mission:

Lastly, I've uploaded pictures of the Scorpion units loaded into the Condor.
They are in the Scorpion folder:

(...) Oh very nice. I like the way the wings can angle (reminds me of the Nazi plane thing from Raiders of the Lost Ark) and I like the li'l gap in the front of the wing that forms an air intake for when your engines are in flight configuration.

Very cool! I always loved landing craft! All the neat goodies (the moving wings, cockpit, and engines) are very nice! Keep on buildin! (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
