Agent Kallus Posted June 15 Posted June 15 (edited) The F-Wing Multipurpose Strikecraft is equipped for a large variety of different missions and can serve as both starfighter and a transport. Only a small number of these fighters exist and are often known as PIR8 strike craft rather than Incom's official F-wing name. When designers at Incom were tasked with creating a new multipurpose strikecraft for the new republic they had to maintain the highest levels of secrecy. Not only was each competent assembled in it's own factory but each section of the ship was assembled separately before being brought together. However when the sections were brought together, a glaring issue was noticed! There 2 right wing factories and no left wing factory, so no left wings had been produced! The brave minds at Incom were fortunately able to work around this and assemble the first batch of ship parts into what is now known as The PIR8 Multipurpose strike craft. It received this name as the new republic decided to wait for the correctly assembled batches leaving this first batch to be sold off discretely to some less discerning customers who were also less than savoury characters. The F-wing received the PIR8 name due to falling into the hands of these criminal enterprises. Note: I had not seen that @Sentinel_Brix had also made a (rather splendid) F-wing for this contest until after I'd already rendered this! So my apologies for any confusion caused by a second F-wing entry. Edited June 15 by Agent Kallus Hopefully I've fixed the flickr images. (for real this time?) Quote
MKJoshA Posted July 7 Posted July 7 I like the shape a lot. The engines and wings give it a very Star Wars vibe. The color-scheme reminds me of Ice Planet, but overall a nice ship. Quote
