Those Alpha Team canopies really are a great jumping off point for a model,
aren't they? With the exception of the hinging problems of course :)

I think this is your best to date Curt, definately the most streamlined.
You've done a nice job of angling the body to reflect the angles of the
canopy.  As Chris and Paul have mentioned, the colour scheme might look a
little cleaner if limited to just the white,red and black without the
transgreen.  I find almost all of the transcolour element very difficult to
convincingly incorporate into any model...they often look more like an
afterthought than a deliberate addition.  Just me tho'....

The pop out missle rack is a nice touch....increased playability is always good!

Build on!

Cheers,

Hello all,
A new fighter has been put on the ULF website. The link is here:

http://www.commandercurt.net/UnitedLFWEB/quasar_highpowered_space_fighter.htm

Description:
The Quasar is considered by many Starforce Engineers to be the
Transaerospace Forces' finest achievement. The Quasar features a cockpit
made out of very high-grade trans-Ultrium, one of the strongest materials
used in modern engineering. The cockpit is unique in that it allows the
pilot to view the space above, below, and in front. Another unique feature
incorporated into the Quasar is its hidden compartment, which contains a
large SRM array (see pictures for details). The Quasar is armed with 4 LRMs,
2 Plasma cannons, 2 Laser cannons, and an SRM array that can fire up to 16
SRMs at the time. The Quasar's main drive is a Sakharov 1.1.

PLMKWYT!!
