Stormclaw Assault Fighter
Update note
This OPT was released in mid 1999; this is a re-release
with my old address removed from the readme.
When this model was created, the XvT/XWA mod tools were still fairly crude,
but they'd advanced far enough to allow entirely original models. This one
is based on a sketch I did while bored in an Art lesson; the mesh is identical
to the X-Wing Alliance version I made at the same time.
This mod may be copied and distributed non-commercially, as long as due credit is
given and it is not modified (in particular, this notice must be preserved).
It comes with NO WARRANTY, express or implied, including any implied warranty of
"fitness for purpose".
