RD-717 MkA "FIREBIRD" [Revised D-717 Axelay] An original concept of a spaceship, based on the 1992 SNES video game "Axelay." This concept trades the bulky pods-and-rockets design of the original japanese cover art, or the bulky armor of the USA cover for a sleek, aerodynamic style. The ship is accented in bright red over it's gray panels and black underside. It still has the tall tailfin and forward-swept wings, but shows off a taller pilot canopy, and the nacelles on either side have wings trailing from the back. Bristling with guns, the ship is built for battle!
ARMS INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE, GOOD LUCK.
