The //Altair// is a space/flight version of the [[:blog:models_mak_ghund|Grosser Hund]]. They are both autonomous (read: computer controlled) interception units, designed by the //Strahl Democratic Republic// to hunt out and destroy enemy //Mercenary// fighting suits (the //AFS// and //SAFS// designs). | The //Altair// is a space/flight version of the [[:blog:models_mak_ghund|Großer Hund]].

The Altair has a space capable flight pack and additional sensors compared to the ground based Grosser Hund, but shares the powerful left-arm laser cannon. Both are more powerful and taller than the average powered-suit designs, making them extremely effective hunters. | The Altair has a space capable flight pack and additional sensors compared to the ground based Großer Hund, but shares the powerful left-arm laser cannon.

I love the space versions of most of the SDR suits and the flight pack added to the //Grosser Hund// is no exception - while it has a vaguely //humanoid// appearance, there's no mistaking that it's a cold, computer-controlled robot. Plus the semi-exposed innards and parts use the Ma.K aesthetic of dangling cables, hoses and pipes to great effect. | I love the space versions of most of the SDR suits and the flight pack added to the //Großer Hund// is no exception - while it has a vaguely //humanoid// appearance, there's no mistaking that it's a cold, computer-controlled robot.

The grey/yellow paint scheme of the //Altair// is something I wanted to replicate across most of the //SDR// forces. | The grey/yellow paint scheme of the //Altair// is something I wanted to replicate across most of the //SDR// forces. |

| Like the base [[:blog:models_mak_ghund|Großer Hund]] kit that this is based on, it's a big kit with many runners and over 200 parts in total. If you've put together anything more than a basic kit before you should be okay, but I wouldn't recommend this one for someone just starting out. |
