Klavs was able to flex his creative muscles with his latest design, an early Confed Wildcat. Owing to the real life historical parallels between the Grumman F4F Wildcat and F6F Hellcat, there's been much fan speculation that the Wildcat interceptor introduced in Wing Commander Action Stations was the predecessor to the workhorse Hellcat V. Klavs has played up this connection with some easter eggs embedded in this design - this one apparently belonged to Wing Commander Academy's war hero-turned-rogue Damon Karnes. It's pretty neat how this design looks like the tried and true Hellcat from afar, but up close, it almost has more in common with Klavs' Scimitar!
Maybe going a LITTLE over zealous with the WW2 analogies, but I think I like it anyway!
