Happy NNoVVember, everyone!

The X/T-501 "Sand Viper" is an experimental space superiority figther used by the Andromedan Liberation Front. While the full capabilities are unknown, it is most commonly armed with twin pulse laser cannons as well as a pair of dark energy missiles.

Thanks, both! The color scheme came about because of the giant slope pieces. I initially built the fuselage and BAVS (Big @ss Vertical Stabilizer) by just playing around with bricks I had. After I had some Tan/Brick Yellow in there, I knew I had to incorporate those 1x10 curved bricks, since I picked up a dozen of them or so from BL a while back on a whim. I then copied the fuselage in LDD and built the wings/prongs digitally, then built it in real life based on that. They ended up a bit droopy, though, as there was no support underneath to keep them straight, so I went back to LDD and refined the design a bit, then incorporated those changes.
