Good friends.
The fighter of the Terran Confederation F-57 Sabre. This very nice ship is original of the old space simulator for IBM PC Wing Commander II, it is one of my favorite drawings of the series, the appearance of airplane of the decade of 50, or of figher of the Japanese Anime or Cartoon like Star Blazers and other so many, finally the concept of the Sabre is very nice and cool...
As many should know the first games of the franchise don't use models 3D, but sprites, then the alternative is either to accomplish scratchbuildings or to use mods models for other more modern games...
F-57 was extracted of a mod for the game Freelancer, my only frustration is that the textures of the model are not of the navy of the Terran Confederation in the traditional Green and Gray, but in the colors of the Free Republic of Landreich (who knows the games of the series well will understand of what am writing)
The model admits is not easy of building, I tried not to create many groups modulated in function that the ship has many forms curves and several angle breaks. But with some patience and care is building...
The only details the more inserted in the model via scracthbuilding was the pilot's complete cockpit and landing gear done, I made one copies in thermaform of the canopy in transparent PVC. The scale that the model was built is close to 1/200.
The fighter F-57 Sabre, it was developed during the Kilrath War, to operate and later to supplant the variants of the heavy figher Scimitar. It is a heavy fighter for atmospheric operations and in the deep space, that four-engined plane in spite of the size was a formidable combat opponent counting with heavy cannon armament and a great varieties of hard points, operating the whole tactical armament of the Confederation practically in terms of missiles could also be adapted to operate with torpedos and space mines...
With the coming of the Free Republic of Landreich, still during the war as a desertion of the Terran Confederation plentiful military material fell in the new government's hands among those eight complete squadrons of Sabres that were used together with the one of the Confederation in important battles to the end of the Kilrath War...
The Sabre continued in use during the decade of 70 for the forces of the Confederation, especially the one of planetary defense, but it was substituted by fighters of new generation as Hellcat, Arrow and Phanter.
