While most Krevarian equipment is designed for use even on worlds without atmosphere, there are cases where the alternative is cheap and effective enough to put into widespread use despite its deployment restrictions. Such is the case for the Crecerelle, a hybrid scout/attack VTOL whose efficient design gives it a potential loiter time many times that of thruster-based craft. It is more likely for the crew to reach their endurance limits before the Crecerelle does.
Originally conceived of as an artillery spotter and reconnaissance craft, the most common loadout of the Crecerelle is a set of underwing and nose-mounted sensors to ferret out even well-hidden enemies. Thanks to its modular design the airframe can also mount a variety of anti-personnel and anti-armor weapons, relying on agility and hit-and-run tactics to make up for its light construction.
The weapons have magnet holes in case you want to swap weapons and equipment after assembly. You’ll need 3mm (⅛”) x 1mm rare earth magnets if you choose to take advantage of them.
I do test-print all my presupports and make an effort for them to be as useful as possible, but I cannot guarantee that they’ll work with every printer/resin/location/weather combination.

This kit includes the parts needed to build the ORA-28 Crecerelle Scout Rotor, along with a variety of underwing armament.
This model contains nine types of underwing pod, including projectile and energy weapons, missiles, and sensors. It also contains twenty-five types of standard mount weapons and sensors for use in the chin turret.
This kit is presupported, but also includes unsupported STLs for those who want to print in FDM or would prefer to handle their own supports.
