Subject: [GZG] Fighter identification

Hi all,

Can anybody identify the following fighter?

http://dev.glendale.org.uk/gallery/v/wargaming/misc/fighter.jpg.html

It'll be an 'old style' design, I had assumed NSL (it looks closest to a Wespe
according to the catalogue, but doesn't have a tail fin) but I may well be
wrong.

Thanks.

My copy of the catalogue lists Dauntless and Defender class fighters for UNSC,
no Hammer class. UNSC aren't listed in the store anymore either.

I didn't think I'd bought any UNSC fighters, but it's possible. I do tend to
buy random stuff...

That had been available prior to UNSC having a fleet, right? It's same as
the not-Hammerhead as I recall it, though I don't think I ever got any.

No picture, but UNCS Hammer class fighters are listed at Eureka.

It is the GF 010 UNSC "Hammer" class atmosphere capable fighter. Released
prior to the UNSC fleet but at the same time as GF 012 both of which were not
"Space Above and Beyond" ships.

It is the UNSC Hammer but from the GF range (GF-010) not from the UNSC
Fleet.
Full name is "UNSC Hammer class atmosphere-capable Fighters"

That makes more sense now in terms of my buying habits. And I've found
pictures of them under 'Merchants and Misc' in the catalogue.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

Yep, Dean and others have got it spot-on; it is GF-010, and is still
currently in production. It was one of a selection of assorted fighter types
released in the GF range because they didn't really fit
with any of the actual FT fleets available at the time - when I later
did the full UNSC fleet, I did them two new fighter types (FT1101 and
1121), but never got round to re-naming the old GF ones.
Just to remind everyone, the UNSC FT fleet is NOT gone for ever -
just on hiatus pending new moulds being made when I get the time, hopefully
sometime over this summer (ditto for the Japanese).

Yeah, well, if I weren't at work during major hardware upgrades and network
issues, I'm sure I would have gotten the whole story out, first, and not
hit-and-miss Googling...

Hmm...

I probably shouldn't admit that, should I...

Never mind.

they belonged to.

Are the GF-019 (Raider fighters) based on the Raiders from B5?
A pic of them seems to be missing from the catalogue page which lists them.

Yes, they are a simple triangular design, very reminiscent of that of
