V-7 Wasp
Cheesy story-line:
Although slight less maneuverable than the Razor, the Wasp's speed capabilities far surpass those of most fighters of it's size. Heavy armor plating protects the engine from all but a, near direct, rear shot. The original version was much sleeker in appearance, but with the modifications made, some paneling had to be removed completely exposing the inner workings. With it's sensor clusters and missile array, the Wasp is able to strike targets at great distances. Forward twin burst cannons make it a threat at close distances as well. Being nearly invulnerable to all but rear attacks, the Wasp had a long run in production. It wasn't until the introduction of a new engine did the bulky-fighter lose it's place in battle.
Build notes:
I normally don't go for tail sections like this, I was just joking around when I decided I liked it enough to go with it. I'll work on a better pic, but in real life the 3/4 angle view gives the appearance that the tail curves down slightly due to the way the yellow stripe is attached.
I used some of the cockpit and the front pylons from the Goose for this. I think it might have started a new trend in my building where I take a section(s) from one MOC and carry it to the next, forming a string, MOC to MOC.
