From Shinsei Industries, the "Monochrome" is one of only 2 new F-14 S-Type KAI brought to service by UN Spacy. Code named "Monochrome" due to its special experimental paint scheme, the classified paint composition is likened to "Have Glass" technology which is meant to reduce the RCS (radar-cross section) by some 70 percent. The "Monochrome" also has a modified underbelly airframe which is externally fitted with the 3-barrel 55mm GU-11, the main ordnance in the variable fighter experimental program, VF-EX.
Calibre Wings have designed their tooling to include many features that are important to F-14 fans, including a couple that aren't currently offered by the competition:
Historical:
Robotech is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic of humans defending their homeworld against alien domination. The saga is told through the eyes of characters caught up in a series of wars that erupts when a mysterious spacecraft crash-lands on Earth at the turn of the millenium. The secrets of alien knowledge aboard this vessel were unlocked, leading to the development of "Robotechnology" and the creation of a vast arsenal of robotic "mecha" to defend the Earth against the alien threats that would eventually strike to lay claim to the mysterious power source known as "protoculture." Robotech has often been called a "space opera" because it is not just action-packed entertainment, but also an engaging drama.
