R-12 "Arrowhead" Attack Fighter

[Algernon]

Continuing my series of white-colored space ships is the R-2 "Arrowhead" Attack Fighter!

Fast, maneuverable, and deadly in large numbers, the Arrowhead makes up the bulk of the Federation fleet.

Without heavy armor plating, these small stunt fighters depend on their maneuverability for survival.

The R-12 owes its agility to the state-of-the-art propulsion system mounted beside the cockpit.

The twin-pod design of the star fighter lends itself to easy modification. As a result, the design has become a popular chassis for collectors.

The Arrowhead's cockpit is equipped with a gyro-stabilization system that allows it to stay level while the ship maneuvers.

This provides the R-12 with unmatched maneuverability and makes it a very formidable opponent, despite being lightly armed and armored.

The Arrowhead is also used as a patrol craft for local law enforcement. The fighter's speed makes it ideal for chasing down criminals.

Fun looking ship, love how you've designed the body to rotate around the cockpit, like a nice little homage to the B-Wing.

Sweet little fighter! The gyro stabilization system is impressive The overall look to the craft is very good too

Very nice! The greebles around the engine are awesome, and look like it would really be functional. I also like the light bley cross beams from the engine to the cockpit. A sticker or two might look nice on the curved part of the cockpit in the first picture.
