| ABOUT THE PREDATOR IV: Thanks for your interest in the 'Predator IV' starfighter. All my designs are completely original from conception to final product. This one is designed for battle. With turret cannons on both wings utilizing quad barrels and dual missle assemblies each housing 10 deadly guidance missles. The twin pylons serve dual purposes as navigational array as well as deadly pulse cannons. The armor plating offers extra protection against hull damage. In the event of disaster, the cockpit is detachable and has self-contained life-support and simple thrust and guidance systems. Wings, wing-tips, landing gear, turrets, missle housings and cockpit are all completely moveable! HOW TO MANIPULATE THE MODEL: This model is built with several moveable features. The weaponary is normally hidden behind access panels. To access all weapons, go to the left wing (the left wing is as sitting in the cockpit facing forward). On the left wing, select the left panel and MOVE to the left. This will raise the turrets as well as extract the missle assemblies. To extract only the missle assemblies, go to the left side of the ship and select the RIGHT panel and MOVE the panel to the right. This will extract both missle assemblies. To lower landing gear, select the FORWARD landing gear and MOVE down. This lowers all landing gear. To change the angle of the wings, select the left wing and ROTATE the wing. This will pivot both wings to the desired angle. There are built-in constraints to prevent any of these changes to go beyond what they are designed for. You can also move the wing-tips in the same manner, just select the left wing-tip and rotate. You can vary both wings and wing-tips to get the desired position as shown in the photos. Finally, the cockpit is completely detachable. Go to the outliner and choose the cockpit. It can then be moved away from the craft. |
