Another replica build from the 1997 cult classic movie Starship Troopers. The Tac-Fighter, as it is commonly known only makes very brief appearances. First in the invasion of Klendathu seen departing the corvettes before the dropships are launched, and later in the film performing a high speed carpet bombing on the bugs.

It's pretty much impossible to gather detail from the film so most of this is based off of toys and pictures of the model used in the film so some approximation errors are present. Nevertheless I think I got it pretty close :)

No need to turn off thruster damage, but as is with the dropship, the confined tight interior space means it can only really fly in creative mode owing to the lack of space for enough H production to allow sustained flight. You could replace some of the H-thrusters for atmos, but since this is supposed to be spaceworthy fighter as well, I opted for pure H setup. Feel free to change around if you want.

Comes equipped with 6 miniguns for cannons, and rockets for bombing run.

Hope you guys enjoy flying it as much as I did making it!
