Robotech RRT Mod., United Earth Government Army of the Southern Cross Spector Jet Interceptor. The vehicle stats can be found in the link below. https://robotech-rpg-tactics.fandom.com/wiki/Custom_Game_Cards LOD 0? LEVEL OF DETAIL 0: This 3d Image is a work in progress. I was having major problems creating realistic wings. If printed for 1/285th scale it should look alright but this aircraft will be my test bed for more advanced surface techniques. Is it a Veritech? In the animation the Spector Jet Interceptor is never seen transforming; however, it is referred to as a Veritech. Looking over materials to make the 3D image there is reason to believe that this aircraft was indeed a Veritech (see engine configuration and look at an REF Alpha fighter) or at least a VTOL Engine test for a Veritech. It could be that the aircraft was deemed unsafe for transformation and the battloid and/or guardian mode was disabled for safety reasons (Thus, the commanding officer circle red "x"'d it when the Robotech Masters showed up. During Role Playing this may be expressed by the UN REF with holding materials for a MWO (Modification Work Order) from the Robotech Factory to the UEG ASC over suspicions or an argument, faulty engineering, or pilots lacking proper certification because the UN REF absorbed most or all pilots qualified on transforming mecha during the time period of the Robotech Masters showing up. It is also possible the aircraft was mass produced prior to the UN REF leaving and the Tactical Air Force (T.A.F.) is just getting used to them when the Robotech Masters arrive. The T.A.F. may have given a standing order that it is better to zoom in and hit your target and speed out then get caught up in a ground war. Thus, speed is the key to survivability not transforming and getting bogged down under enemy fire. 16March2019 Head unit added to underbelly. After finding information that the Spector or Sylphid did have an under-slung turret it has now been added. The old file may be uploaded again for people who want the turret hidden or not attached at all. The unit looks like a VF1 head with side lasers. It is also possible: Spector X (VF4-Alpha hybreed test aircraft) Spector G (grounded) - 001 Status prefix Status prefix is an optional prefix not often used for vehicles in regular service. If used, it is the first letter in the MDS. Authorized current status prefixes are: C Captive. Only used for rockets and missiles, C applies to missiles designed to be carried in their launch environment but are incapable of actual launch. D Dummy. Only used for rockets and missiles which are non-flying, primarily for ground training. G Grounded. Applied to aircraft which are permanently grounded, most often used for ground training of crews and support. This is only applied as a permanent designation. Use is rare. J Temporary Special Test. Applied to craft involved with special testing of temporarily installed equipment. The J Prefix is used for aircraft that can be reasonably returned to their original configuration following tests. An example is aircraft used as testbeds for new electronics, but which will or may not retain that equipment after tests are complete. N Permanent Special Test. Applied to craft involved with special testing on a permanent basis, with modifications to their configuration that make return to original configuration impractical. Many military aircraft transferred to NASA for aeronautical research carry this designation. X Experimental. Applied to craft which are not yet accepted for service, or to prototypes for which standard configuration has not been finalized. Most prototypes of the past carried this prefix, but it should not be confused with craft given an X basic mission symbol. The X status prefix is for designs for other missions, but at an experimental stage of the design process. Y Prototype. Originally applied to demonstration craft where configuration had been determined, but from the 1970s on applied to all prototypes of aircraft intended for production. Z Planning. Applied to designs in the planning/pre-development phase.
