Hi Everyone,
This is a little rocket I built quite some time ago for 3vil, before I
discovered the wondrousness of skulls. I just sat down this morning and
decided to refit it for EB duty.

Enjoy, Comrades.

LOL!
Hmmm...
Small, ovoid form... Check.
Cheap-o, tacked-on landing skid... Check.
Overpowered fuel-guzzling engine... Check.
Two crude, but effective cannons... Check.
Bare minimum of control surfaces... Check.
OMG, looks like the Russkies finally managed to modify the
Me 163 and put it into
service! Heh, that was my first thought, but maybe I just watch Wings of the
Luftwaffe too much on the Discovery Wings channel. Anyways, this is a nice
Eastern Bloc-styled interceptor Mark. It sure looks like it is mass-produceable
and fit for its role. Good job as always.
The following is not directed at you Mark (or this fine MOC), but more at whole
“theme” and its execution here in .space.
I hope to see more creativity and variety in the whole Eastern Block theme,
otherwise it won’t be able to compete much with the already superb PCS theme and
nascent 3vil theme. Thus far, everybody seems to have been focusing on the
“cheap” aspect of Russian weaponry. However, as cheap as Comm-Bloc hardware was,
it did give the West some fears. The Mi-24 Hind and Su-27 Flanker might have
been designed with economy in mind, but they were robust, practical weapons that
gave their NATO contemporaries a run for their money.
I’m not trying to preach anything political here, just saying that this whole
theme could really produce some great MOCs. A better grasp on actual Communist
military hardware would definitely help, and references can be found at these
two fantastic sites: FAS.org,
Army Tech., and
Airforce Tech..
