Upon its introduction in the middle of the Frozen War, the Sovre Sunbeam was without a shadow of a doubt the most advanced missile interceptor in the world, and propelled S.O.Vre Ltd. onto the world stage as one the leading airplane manufacturers. Able to exceed Mach 2 at 50,000 feet in level flight and carry 8 air-to-air missiles in its internal weapon bay, the Sunbeam enjoyed a 30-year career with three of the world's superpowers.

The sample here is dressed in Canarvian Royal White (basically an approximation of the gorgeous livery painted on the Avro Arrows).

Note: I feel that it must be said that you must open the missile bay before launching a missile. Failure to do so will result in self-destruction. I've tried it.

The Sunbeam is an unapologetic Avro Arrow ripoff, right down to the 'Mach 2 at 50,000' requirement and air-to-air missiles in an internal weapon bay. The Arrow is a personal favourite of mine, so I hope this model does it justice.
