Faye's Red Tail (pre v1.11)
THIS IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION!!!
(more explanation at the bottom)
This is my try at a 1:1 replica of Faye Valentine's Red Tail from the anime Cowboy bebop.
one of my favorite shows, and one of my favorite ship designs.
it controls like a bike, and I tried giving it the same capabilities like in the show..
(in earth's atmosphere)
She's twitchy, but pretty stable in forward flight, and pretty easy to hover with tapping and Gyro on.
AG-1 = Engines and hud on/off
AG-2 = Left side hatch
AG-3 = Right side hatch
AG-4 = Eject monopod - WARNING! Do not eject on the ground!!!
AG-7 = Revolvers open/close
AG-8 = Gyro on/off
Landing gear will only work with Gyro on.
Weapons will arm when landing gear is up.
VTOL and Trim have reversed controls for thrust direction
shown on the left side of the hud
known issues:
-Flickering glass due to inner reflection.
Version without inner glass HERE
Escape pod flies like crap...
I know, never got to fixing it, stay at low speeds in pod...
for low part version with a lot of features removed:
Link Here
Special features:
-Custom missiles that can work underwater
-Custom bullet chain guides
-Custom Yaw and Roll "Eye" thrusters
-Custom cockpit with diagrams for AG indications, compass, Hud and more
-It can go underwater using the Ocean MOD by Gestour
I made this before the update, and I basically need to redo A LOT to cut down on part count, using new options and parts from the 1.11 update.
unfortunately I just don't have the time top work on stuff due to IRL stuff..
and I just don't know when or if I'll ever update it.
so I'm uploading this as is.
Things to do on the final version:
-Redesign cockpit elements
-Redesign body with cutting tool
-Add Full VR support
Special thanks to @MisterT and @Spikerya
as with all of my builds, feel free to use whatever you want from this :)

@X99STRIKER Thank you!
oh in the anime, Faye and the Red tail only show up in episode 3 ;)
I only saw like the first maybe second episode… but the build is cool👍
@Charris969 still not sure or finished with a lot of things on the Orca III...
I'm getting help setting it up for VR controls as well, and there's a lot that's not finished.
@Freerider2142 I mean the orca 3
@CrimsonOnigiri Sweet, have fun with the show 🙂
I'm planning to make a version with the grapple arms from episode 7 😉
@Charris969 maybe on the final version..
there's a few small details I want to add in general to the monopod and all over the main body ;)
@Bellcat and all I have to do now is rebuild the damn thing because of the update 🤣😭
HOLY FUDGE I JUST STARTED THIS SERIES AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHIP!!! GREAT Build btw!!!
@Freerider2142 nice and that third hatch did u add that? For my spare engine theory?
