Description I finally got around to creating a weapons expansion set for the VT-1 Supercat...

Being an older aircraft in second line use with UN Military Air Guards Units, I decided to give it an assortment of older NATO/UN stock weapons such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder, and the Mk-81 Extended Fuse Bomb, along with newer weapons such as the Mk-82 LGB. I'd decided a while back to arm it with preliminary trials versions of the AIM-135 Wyvern AAM (which is the standard armament on all UN Transforming Aircraft beginning with the VGF-14 Wildcat series) and a trials version of the GAU-14 30mm Gun-Pod (non-transforming test variant of the rifle intended for the VGF-14 Wildcat program)

...needs more weapons! Very fun, I love the variety, and the all-external weapon loadouts are cool. I suppose it does have a laser or gun of some kind for close-in work?

When I created the VT-1 Supercat and released it for sale I included a basic weapons load-out (something I've done with all of my aircraft models)...

The base weapons load is as follows:

1x 30mm GAU-14 Gun Pod (test variant of that carried by the VGF-14 Wildcat)
1x Chaff/Flare Pod (included with all my transforming fighters)
1x ANQ-214 ECM Pod (included with the VT-1 and EA-12)
12x AIM-135 Wyvern AA Missiles (included with all my UN Fleet aircraft)

I'd also included a number of extras like a Pilot dummy, Boarding ladder and such... I included these basics in all the UN Fleet aircraft models, and have done similar sets for my real-world aircraft as well... The set I've shown above is an expansion set to add extra variety to the weapons loads of the VT-1, and I've done sets like this for the VGF-14, YF-35, and AVF-35 transforming fighters as well... Each one has its own unique weapons expansion set to suit the role I've given it in my theoretical line of development...

On my real-world aircraft models I even included the FOD storage covers for the engine nacelles and intakes...
