Hey guys! MAN has it been a while! I bring you today an old beloved project of mine, with some SERIOUS upgrades. The RX-75 Mark IV "Wasp"!
I'm proud of this thing, probably one of my favorite things I've ever built. As clearly seen, there has been some major changes to the look. The air compressors at the front are completely removed, replaced with large air intakes for the engines, as well as sweptback wings for even more speed. And a key feature, spaceflight capability. That hasn't changed, and with small engines spread around the aircraft for maneuverability in space. Forward elevators are mounted above the INTR* Missiles firing slot, for better pitch stability and advanced flight maneuvers within atmosphere. Every Powerhouse, Weapon, and Bolt was changed for the better in this design, as were nearing the final product. I hope you enjoy! I don't have the nice renders by Ervin like in the first prototype, but Chunky worked well enough for this one! If I get enough requests I'll add a world download.
