Most people know of
Blacktron for their intergalactic shady activities and for being a perpetual thorn in the side of the
Space Police. What is generally not well known is that prior to the advent of faster than light travel and the colonization of space, in the second quarter of the 21st century, Blacktron arose partially out of the collapse of the USA (commonly known, of course, as the "Trumpocalypse") as a mercenary and gun-running group using repurposed and often obsolescent military equipment, similar to the mercenary gun-runners of the 1990s in their Iluyshins and Antonovs after the collapse of the USSR. This brought them into regular conflict, of course, with the increasingly militarized UN Police (later amalgamated into the Space Police).
It is this period of the Blacktron history that I will be modelling a subject from.
I'll be using the atrocity that is the PM Models 1/72 F-16c. This is NOT a quality kit. Fortunately, for this flight of fancy I just need it to look mostly like an F-16, which the kit does manage to achieve.
Here is a sprue shot:
Pretty simple scheme ahead. Can anyone former Space Lego enthusiasts predict where it's headed?.... ;)
