[Challenge 2][Cat A] M.A.N.T.I.S. M08-15 Talon Gunship

[SpacerSteve]

The M08-15 Talon gunship is used by the M.A.N.T.I.S. fleet as an escort craft for it's larger vessels. This craft is used strictly for non-atmospheric missions. It lacks the aerodynamics of the smaller fighter craft. Although it looks bulky it can match the speed of the smaller fighters.

There are two crew. One pilot and one navigator/gunner.

The M08-15 has two weapon systems. On the prow it houses twin dark matter cannons and on the dorsal it houses rail-gun turret.

The port side has a disruption array. This can be used to disable any missiles or torpedos that threaten the larger ships.

Some shots of the interior.

Nice one, I like it a lot.

[Alfadas]

Nice! The colourscheme is very cool!

[Aliencat]

That's a really cool ship, looks threatening and very M.A.N.T.I.S.

Nice interior for the gunner as well, despite being very compact it's surprisingly spacious in there.

[Kodan Black]

Wow, I really like it. The back seat setup reminds me of Airwolf! Great color scheme and it looks very aggressive and Mantis like.

[shmails]

Very powerful looking. I really like the position of the cockpit.

[mccoyed]

Nice big heavy fighter. Great to see another one of those. A lot of great details here, too. And the color scheme would have been tricky to photograph but you did a good job.

[Big Sal]

Wow, I'm glad I'm on the same side as this - it looks tough!

Love all the details in the interior, including the control panels and wires showing underneath the floor!

i really like the side by side supports you used to hold the engines and how this looks like a space tank

[mrcp6d]

I've got no real words for this other than "awesome". Seriously, I'm pretty sure I just made up the other words I've got for this.

Looks like a devastating gunship Fits perfectly in MANTIS, and the interior is quite a nice bonus

[David FNJ]

Woah, that is just so boss! Super cool design, angles, and engines! The cockpit area too looks fantastic!

[LittleJohn]
