For this weeks update, we would like to round off our presentation of Wing Commander 2 Confed fighter models created by Klavs and highlight his rendition of the Sabre! The Sabre was one of the best heavy fighters ConFleet put into service during the late 2650's, matching well with the Jalkehi and the Gothri. In addition to its dogfighting ability, its attack ability was so commended that a modified torpedo bomber variant was constructed for the escort carrier class. Both variants proving their mettle in the bloodiest of conflict, all Sabres were retired by the Thunderbolt VII and put into active reserve wings and In System security units as their defacto strike fighter-bombers.

That is.......AWESOME!!
Gettin' back to dodgin' lasers.

 
Very nice.



Edit:  Also, Truespace isn't necessary for modeling, and neither is purchasing the full version.  3.2 is available freely and still capable of making models.  There's also Blender, 3ds Max, Wings3d, Sketchup, Solid Modeling applications, etc...


but you most buy everything for modelling full version

It is astonishing how pretty a model can look like with shine/glow/env effects applied. ;)

Cockpit where?

I know what a cockpit is. Still, the meaning of your comment eludes me.

how would you see it from a semidiagnol angle without seeing a mixture of two cockpit images?

only in the simulator. Sabre/Rapier/Ferret are part of the system security forces and are no longer stationed on fleet carriers by the end of the war.

You can still make your own missions where you can assign them as fighters to fly.
