All the panelling and details are on, it's now drying after it's first coats of primer  :)

This is just a temporary base as I have sorted out it's proper one yet.





So, a bit more detailed fluff (and yes, I am making it up as I go along but that's part of the fun  :D ).

Kuat Systems Engineering designed the normal Firespray as a patrol craft and prisoner transport but also came up with a few variations; few of which actually made into production. The Firespray XL was one that did get made; boasting more prisoner cells and a larger security force capacity (16 troopers) it was touted as a more independent craft for ousting smaller bandit/pirate gangs. Unfortunately due to the extra capacity, the reduction in speed and manoeuvrability was deemed too much of a sacrifice and so the project was scrapped.
cheers

Very impressive!

I’d not realised it was so much a bigger ship than the X wing and Tie (even before the coffin addition)

Thanks chaps  :)

It should actually be a bit bigger than it is to be in scale with the fighters but it’s close enough for me  :)

Firespray XL ....love it  lol

I was going to add that this was the fifth one built but that might have been taking it a bit far  lol

That Mandalorian Imperial troop carrier is calling to me though  lol

Very nice! The cockpit has a threatening narrow-eyed 'Mandalorian helmet' vibe to it.
