This is my entry into category A of the Andromeda's Gates Challenge #2.
Introducing the OF51 Dayhawk, the newest attack fighter in the Octan Corp fleet.
With the rumors of invasion of the horizon, the Higher ups at the corporation sent down orders to design a new fleet that represents the history and future of Octan.
This fighter is designed for speed and agility without giving up any fire power. The two Ion cannons are accompanied by four neutron missiles, capable of destroying much larger ships from a safe distance.
The specially designed nosecone protects the most vital systems, including the latest in radar and jamming technology. We placed the pilot as close to the sensor systems as possible to cut down on relay time between decision and action.

A few notes: This is my first real spaceship, so please let me know what you think. I was inspired by the two of my favorite planes of all time, the P51 Mustang and the F117 Nighthawk Stealth fighter. I wanted to go in the opposite diection from greebling the entire machine, so i went with a stealth tech look, and i really like the look. The decals are custom made by me.
Enjoy!
