This was one of my first customs from 1999. It has the fuselage of a Firebat, and the back half of an Avengers Air Glider. Rotary Cannon were from soldier force figures, and various munitions from my bag-o-rockets. The back landing gear is from the X-30, the front from the air glider.
The Firebat was an independent R+D upgrade project. This version was designed as a STOL type fighter that would be independent of a launch platform (i.e. no Terror Drome). This fighter can be launched from strips of less than 200m due to the hi-lift design of the bat-wing configuration combined with the hi-thrust to weight ratio engines. Originally designed as coastal interdiction for the Island, but is a capable interceptor once relieved of its ship-killer ordnance
