DefianceIndustries' war machine keeps grinding out incredible new hardware. Up today is the WC4 pirate variant of the solid Thunderbolt. It can be hard to make a design look good in a tattered and worn state, but there are some fantastic visual aspects that do just that here. Rust or grime added to the hull are one thing, but the little green patches are an especially nice touch. They suggest wear of the exterior paint down to the underlying primer. Although we often think of gray craft like this as being simply being raw metal, it's more likely they are intentionally colored this way. Greens and yellows are common colors underneath the radar-absorbing and protective coatings we see on today's fighters. Seeing little lime squares on the model here suggests raw spare parts had to be pushed right into service. Check out DI's take on the Confed paint scheme here!
