A later addition to the wide and growing Adder series of light combat hulls the Type 07 SuperBlue was commissioned in 4312IC at the New Glastronbury Targa works with the express purpose of being the best of its peer group. This mission was largely successful due to the extra effort put into its construction the care and time over and above the norm. Four tons heavier than the regulation twenty standard of the Adder series it was given a smaller than usual and expensive construct of the Podkletnov Gravity Protective Scute (PGPS) repulsar drive making the Type 07 Adder very nimble at considerable cost. Titanium Alloy armour upped from 4mm to 7mm around the rigid fabricated frame increased survival rates against incoming projectile and energy based weaponry by more than forty percent. The Type 07A is armed with a Valerin MkII 15Mw Laser Cannon with doubled heat dissipation coils allowing a more rapid rate of sustained fire against armoured targets without the weight of ammunition storage. This makes it a lethal enemy for Battlesuits and other light vehicles. SuperBlue's are crewed by two with a driver and a gunner being the norm. There is space in the vehicle for two more regular equipped soldiers or up to four at a push. There are several more unusual variants of the SuperBlue including the artillery support, the 07B which has twin Anda 60mm Missile Pods and the 07C which mounts twin Moth 88 rotary cannons however the 07P is the most experimental. It mounts a temperamental Hermit 71mm rapid fire plasma cannon with the passenger compartment given over to equipment to deal with the strain of the weapon. The majority of the SuperBlue's in active service are deployed with regular Muster Regiments fighting across the Precinct and there are smaller numbers of the Type 07 present in the armouries of the Marcher Barons too. Diodine Sparrow of the Quarrel Company has four dozen at his personal command he rates them so highly and used them to great effect during the Campaign for the Hadadan Statues.
Academy Auto-Trainer Series 52, New Glastonbury, 4335IC
Thanks everyone for your custom across our range of Adder Combat Cars and Adder Combat Lifters in the last year plus. The time has now come for the super star of the Adders to be released. This is our final release of August 2015. Able to kick the ass of any other Adder and give Mullo's a run for their money too the SuperBlue is a hunter of armour on the battlefield typically travelling in three's they can even take on a Taranis too...maybe! We had a lot of fun with this design and are really happy to now offer it to all of you. Read on for all the information.
IAF080 SuperBlue Adder (1 Repulsar Vehicle Kit)
This pack contains one resin vehicle which requires assembly. This is a unique Adder variant which has repulsar drive (anti-gravity) giving it excellent speed and agility as well as thicker armour and a powerful Valerin Laser Cannon for accuracy and armour killing ability. Crewed by the best Muster pilots around the SuperBlue is an armour hunter that can operate on its own or in squadrons taking out larger vehicles that any other Adder could manage perhaps even a Taranis tank. Codename SuperBlue. Go HERE.
Assembled this model is 65mm long and 40mm wide at its widest point. The kit comprises a one piece hull as well as a one piece turret with weapon and a unique base to mount the vehicle upon that takes it 5mm off the table. Only three pieces to assemble with ease! This code can be bought as a pack or three packs saving 10%. Price 5.00GBP per pack. Go HERE.
We have many other Adders as well.
Go HERE to see the Adder Combat Cars and the Adder Combat Lifters. There are a dozen different variants.
IAF034 Skylark Cradle
It has been suggested to us that the SuperBlue Adder would sit well with the Skylark Cradle and while this was not our intention the two models do indeed go well together and IAF034 will cradle the armour hunter too. This one piece high grade grey tone resin structure fits right in with IAF015 Hab Dome and the IAF024 Fabricator Spire as a building in its own right. The Cradle is an industrial building with a high degree of detail. Excellent piece with a wide variety of uses. Go HERE.

Nice vehicle! It does remind me of a Star Wars Snowspeeder :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark! It does have similar elements but it is its own thing I think. As Bob say below it will fit in for many things.
