[September Release] Stonefish Class Assault Flier

(Edit.1_9.4.22: Both Raw and Supported files have been uploaded to CG&T. DISCLAIMER: Some pieces on this kit fit a bit tightly initially  and require a little bit of work to mesh properly. This is mostly with  the interaction between the engines and body joint and a few of the wing  inserts, some light sanding, or in the engine's case, a few rotations  will clear out the slot~

As always if you're not seeing the files in your library, hit the "Check for new Downloads" button on your downloads page~ Given everything's just been uploaded, it still might take a bit for everything to show up~

Last vehicle set for a minute, but I admit, after finishing these escort drones, I am a bit excited for the next one~

This is a large multi-role aerial vehicle that can be assembled in a handful of ways, with the primary two assemblies being a payload based bomber, and a light skirmisher. However all the bits are interchangeable and you can build these in any manner you think is neat. With a handful of optional pieces this one should be pretty neat to mess around with. Pre-slotted for magnets so that you should be able to assemble it as either or. I tried to get a decent sampling of a few variants in the renders~ (For anyone wondering, the missile trails are from the DeadlyPrintStudios narwhal weapon effects and isn't part of this release, I just thought they looked neat in the render~)

Presupports are currently being worked on, and the main fileset should be up on the 3rd or 4th of the month as always~ If for whatever reason I don't have the supports by the 4th I might hold the raw fileset back till I get them in. There are a lot of "moving parts" so to speak, and I want to make 100% sure that everything can be assembled. I also want to make sure the flight stands work, but I will always recommend making your own slots for stands as needed like with the triggerfish, and there are two front hulls to this effect, one with a socket for the stand and one without. I also chose to leave the drones separate from the main flyer to act as escorts instead of having a dedicated hard mount. I went into this a bit on the discord, but this lets me not have to model around sticking a full drone assembly to the actual ship (I dislike this aspect of every other vehicle I've done so far.), and I can make the drones neater too. And like I said prior, I think I have a form that I'm excited to work with in regards to another flier.

I have another thing to announce on top of the standard model release, but I'll let this sit for a sec before I get into that, but it's pretty cool~

Anyway, next month is a crack at that bipedal version of the Narwhal, in a more standard mecha package. I Don't think this will take me more then a month, but I will take more time if I need it for this one.
