F.27 Marin Light Fighter

The Marin is a lightweight general-purpose atmospheric fighter aircraft in service with Krevaria and allied formations. Featuring a high-output engine and excellent handling characteristics, the F.27 was designed from the outset to be a dogfighter. In practice, its low cost and ease of production have put it into any role that can be filled by a single-crew airframe, most commonly ground attack.

The Marin is equipped with two or three (depending on subtype) internal gun mounts and four underwing hardpoints. The gun mounts are most often filled with pulse lasers or autocannon depending on projected opponents. The centerline gun mount is most often omitted in favor of a modular oxygenation system for operation on planets that have sufficient atmosphere for maneuvering but lack the composition or density necessary to keep the thruster supplied.

The F.27’s underwing hardpoints are most often filled with one of the following weapons (although other configurations are possible):

AAIM-6 Interceptor Missile: This radar-guided missile is the standard armament for anti-air combat. Featuring a good mix of maneuverability, range, and explosive yield, it is an effective armament against most comparable aerial foes.
AGM-17 Destroyer Missile: This anti-armor weapon is an effective counter to enemy tanks. Its optical guidance and automated target-keeping keep it accurate even after the pilot has turned their attention to other foes.
AGMH/N-2 Aerial Torpedo: A heavy missile for use against heavily fortified targets like landships and fixed emplacements. Aerial Torpedos feature a turbofan engine for extended range and are of sufficient size to mount a variety of warheads, including fission and gravitic payloads.
BUG-500P Unguided Bomb: A mediumweight bomb with excellent explosive yield, the P subtype includes an attached drag system to allow for low-altitude bombing.
BG-1250L Guided Bomb: This heavy bomb features a guidance rig so that allied ground forces can direct the weapon onto targets with pinpoint accuracy.
LSR-30 Rocket Pod: This lightweight rocket pod is designed for saturation and suppression of wide areas.
Auxiliary Fuel Drop Tank: These drop tanks are either a single fuel container or split between extra fuel and oxygen storage depending on deployment environment.

The airframe and most weapons have magnet holes in case you want to swap armaments after assembly or remove the wings for easier transport. You’ll need 3mm (⅛”) x 1mm and 5mm (¼”) rare earth magnets if you choose to take advantage of them.

This set of files contains everything you need to print the Marin light fighter and its most common hardpoint equipment.

The model contains variants with and without the nose cannon, as well as options for an open cockpit and landing gear either lowered or retracted.

There are seven types of underwing equipment, three of which have variants that mount more than one per pylon. Weapons from the Valravn and Crecerelle are also compatible with this kit (and vice-versa).

This kit is preed, but also includes uned STLs for those who want to print in FDM or would prefer to handle their own s.
