Another remake of a Tiberian Sun vehicle, however this time I made the model from scratch. Now, the TS Banshee has always been my bane when it comes to modeling - though the design looks cool, it lacks virtually any defining details from which one could start modeling; either you get it all right in the first go or you end up with a disproportioned... thing which you can trash right away. So this time around, I used Westwood´s Banshee only as a rough design template and made up its defining elements myself (also added some elements from similar fighters :P ). In the end, the result turned out to look quite cool but not too similar to the Banshee - thus, it´s got a new name and is now called the Wraith.
While the Banshee, being a prototype and basically the first of its kind, was heavily reliant on alien technology, its successor is based 100% on Nod´s state of the art technology, which didn´t assimilate the alien technology but rather was itself reinvented based on the new insights gained from the Tacitus. Due to its anti-gravity capabilities and its four heavy, conventional engines, the Wraith is one of the fastest aircraft at its time while still being extremely maneuverable. A pair of plasma cannons give it exceptional attack capabilities against most targets and the standardized mainframe can be outfitted with various additional weapons. It is even speculated that some of these aircrafts have been outfitted with stealth generators.
