Greetings!
A victim of serval techraids on it's Terran and offworld development sites,
Toradoch Industries has developed it's first defense platform...the Shuto
multi-role gravfighter. Made for short range atomospheric use, it's design
is to be used for a variety of as yet undisclosed defense tasks.
Seen with a vetern Toradoch test pilot, this unarmed version has been shown
only to the top company brass.
More to come as it's declassified....

Originally I wanted this to be the platform for a small battlegroup, but as
with most things, it got larger the more I worked on it. I hope to produce
a simplified version for mass production. Both hate and love the half round
canopies. Interesting for the back access option as used here, but often
miserable to work with the angles and relatively short length..ah well.
Kudos to J. Palmer's D wing, LF Braun's AMX fighter and J. Neufield's
Tigershark for solutions to these problems...
Cheers,
-G

| Very cool ship. I love it. That landing gear is great and I like the rear entry thing you did. Very different. Glad our ship designs could help you out. You did an excellent job. Jamie www.ozbricks.com/jneufeld (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)
