RX-02 Jackal by AzMiLion, on Flickr

The Jackal is a R-type fighter craft, powered by twin T-Viper Engines and armed with two dual Plasma flak cannons. The additional Jackal option weapon provides a beam weaponry capability to this fearsome fighter, as well as being capable of being used as a auxilliary hyperdrive.

More spaceships with the Turbo philosophy applied to them, this one is for the May R-Type month challenge on the starfighters group on flickr!

As usual, feedback is appreciated.

Oh, yeah another R-Type craft......nice design, Brick On Fight On 'AzMiLion' !

Very nice shape. Exactly where would you put the additional weapon?

[AzMiLion]

Option type weapons are self-propelled to a degree and hover in front of the ship. as for the rear booster attachment there's a 1x1 with a vertical clip hidden in there.

basically thats how it attaches for now, still working on a bit more of a sturdy connection.

I like the combo of "system" and HF. The engines look absolutely awesome.

These are pretty sweet, man. I love the idea for the booster and weapons modules.

Very nice!!!

Is this craft based of an existing game model or is it a new type?

[AzMiLion]

Inspired by various ships from the R-type series, but of my own design. So mostly new craft.

I love the colors on this one. The "POLICE" print seems a bit out of place though.

It looked beter in the initial colouring i did for it, and the way the render came out doesn't exactly make it pop as much as i'd like.
