 I have model kits of half of these ships: Vic Viper from Gradius, R-9A Arrowhead from R-Type, Raiden, Solvalou from Xevious, Ikaruga, and the Silverhawk from Darius. There is a model kit of Twinbee, but I haven’t picked it up yet. Since Starfox is the only one in the picture that isn’t a 2D shmup, if we were to replace its Arwing fighter with the R-Gray1 from Layer Section\/Raystorm, my vote would probably be for that one. But since it’s not there, I’d probably vote for the Ikaruga. Even though I don’t care for the game as much as others, the design is just so simultaneously elegant and deadly. I have models of the Ikaruga and Ginkei from that game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
