@ccooper Hah, I forgot about this bird! lol Thanks for the upvote. ^_^
@Feschterohjo Thank you for your' kind words. ^_^
@dilisvarskvlavi Your planes deserve way more downloads and upvotes....Nice job!!!
@Makcoink Thanks! I used to play and occasionally write for a table-top RPG called RIFTS. Thus sometimes I draw inspiration from the idea of, "What would they build for this..?" Anyway, glad you like it! Tsubame means "Swallow," as in the bird. Forked tail and all... you get it. The company name given is mentioned ONE time out of of probably 50 official RIFTS books, and it is one sentence, so you'd have to be a die hard fan of the game to catch the reference. I have a couple larger and more heavily armed twin-tails listed under Republican Industries Type 88 Oowashi, I think. Now that I've figured out how to recolor trim using custom colors I'll have to go back and rework a LOT. lol
I don't know what this is but it sure is awesome
