About this creation
This is what happened: The BPC Loki was just sitting in my living room, idling away in a dark corner. Life was good. And, it was a good boy; someone you can introduce to your mother-in-law. It was not drawing much attention to itself, it was content to just gather dust.
But after a few months, it began to stare at me. A knowing, malicious stare. For it knew I could not resist. And it knew it would consume a lot my time.
So what was I supposed to do? I yielded... The Loki is undergoing a large refit! Main goal; build it larger!
Things in the planning are to build on top - between the two wings - a tower/missile-launcher/whatyoumightcallit, to give the ship some more mass and body, and a more original overall design. Secondly between the TPFKAP and the main mody, I would like to include a large bomber or mech-dropper module/pod/section/thingy.
Suggestions are welcome!

Okay placing The-pod-formerly-known-as-pilot's (from now on to be know as TPFKAP) on top was just silly. But it does make a nice fit...
It is under circumstance my idea to leave it there!
My favourite guinea pig; Blacktron minifig! He is so brave; he even had the guts to test the new gunner seats!

New feature number 1: a 360 degrees swing chair for the two gunners seated on top of the wings! BTW, I have found a use for robot arms other than robot arms!
In the backround, the port engine is just visible.
The gunners are seated safely under the panes from Dr. Octopus' secret hide-out... (Opened on this picture, the hinge is also just visible.)

new guns! Much wider range of action, and twice as much testosteron! The range is nearly half a sphere, and this includes a "cruise mode"...

I love grill tiles. I just do! Shoot me. I like them...

The new thrusters keep it flying! No, not really. It will just fall to floor and shatter in a thousand pieces. Keep that in my kids; gravity kills!

Including this disk taken from General Grievous' dohickey, was the first idea for the refit. Mounting a turret on it was just too easy...
