ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
| The UCAV EDI (Extreme Deep Invader) was developed jointly with the FA-37 Talon. EDI (call sign 'Tinman') is smaller than the Talon and has a downward-canted delta platform. Although designated an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV), the EDI retains a cockpit for maintenance and emergencies. Among the features incorporated into the EDI are V/STOL capability, a Kermit (metal ceramic) composite exoskeleton and aeroelastic wings. The engine is described as a Pulse Detonation Engine with twin Hybrid Scramjet Turbos fueled by catalyzed A1 methane. It carries two Throat Ripper AAMs, two Shock Hammer AGMs, three AGM-130s, known as Blue Ferrets, and a GAU-12 Equalizer. EDI also carries three FAE (Fuel Air Explosives) missiles, though the designation of those missiles is unknown. |
Released in October 2010, the EDI-UCAV kit was produced exclusively for Fantastic Plastic Models by Anigrand
Craftswork of Hong Kong. The kit includes recessed engine exhausts,
landing gear, and a detailed cockpit interior including the spherical EDI
"brain." For information on kit availability, CLICK HERE. |
