[1/1250]CFS-80A Red Dragon-class Combat Flagship

Suddenly realized September 3rd is approaching this year, which marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, along with a grand military parade on September 3rd. I thought about making a military model to commemorate it and also as a gift for my son No sooner said than done, thinking that Re-Light Industries in the Pan-Rock Universe only had one maintenance bay, I decided to just make his flagship After a week of effort, I actually managed to make it! Happy I call it: Red Dragon-class Battle Flagship (After watching the September 3rd military parade, I think the Red Dragon-class could join the aerospace formation hahahaha) Model Overview

• Scale is 1/1250, the actual model is quite large. I can use the Peak Power 'Clear Sky'-class transport ship, which previously participated in a competition, as a comparison (the model is located at Peak Power LF-1 Outpost - Launch Zone, scale 1/250). After converting to the same scale, the Clear Sky-class is only slightly larger than the CIC logo on the Red Dragon (laughs)

• Uses the CIC CFS-80 standard flagship hull (I have opened up secondary creation permissions for this model; if you like this theme and are too lazy to model the main hull, you can directly modify it, just credit the source)
• Employs a modular assembly system: mainly divided into the main hull, bow, battle bridge, main bridge, side modules, and internal compartments (see the setting and assembly instructions section below for details)
• Very easy to print
• Only the logo and hull number parts require multiple colors; the rest are separated parts with different colors
• Side modules connect to the main hull via a magnetic structure and can be opened to display the internal compartments (therefore, 16 6mm*2mm round N52 strong magnets are required)
• For those with strong DIY skills, I have reserved space in the internal compartments for independent wiring, adding lights, etc

• Includes a dedicated display base, the base contains my personal touch (laughs): at the bottom, there is a commemorative emblem for the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and a Baidu Baike QR code, which you can scan to learn about the origin and important historical significance of China's Anti-Japanese War Memorial Day

  

 

——Mechanical Settings and Assembly Instructions——

This time, I've put the mechanical settings directly into the images. If the images are too small, you can give me feedback, and I will turn them into a PDF

 

 

——Backstory——

In the cargo bay of 'Anchor Point - 73' space station, the cargo bay doors of four 'Clear Sky' transport ships were lined up—three bearing the silver insignia of the CIC Transport Team. Liang Yu was on tiptoes helping a colleague push maintenance bay parts onto the conveyor belt, her ponytail swaying slightly with her movements, muttering, 'Be careful, these three 'Clear Sky' ships were bought by us gritting our teeth. Although Peak Power sells them externally, the price is such that it takes three long-haul trips just to earn back the cost of one ship.'

Next to the only 'Clear Sky' bearing the deep blue insignia of SD Peak Power, Captain Chen Mo was leading his team in preparing Pan-Rock Mech 071.

'Captain Liang, it's already impressive that you could buy three 'Clear Sky' ships,' Chen Mo said, staring at the mech's holographic screen, his tone a bit wistful. 'Our mission team only has this one 'Clear Sky', and it took half a year for the team to get it approved. We only came this time because we took on a temporary mission to transport repair parts.'

Liang Yu straightened up and rubbed her waist, then suddenly leaned close to Chen Mo, pulling out her terminal from her pocket and proudly shaking it. The screen prominently displayed the 3D rendering of the Yu-Long class trade flagship, just announced by CIC. 'Captain Chen, don't get envious too soon! Look at this—the Yu-Long class trade flagship just announced by CIC! Although we transporters can't do without the 'Clear Sky', we now have a big guy of this caliber too!'

Chen Mo glanced at the screen and couldn't help but laugh. 'Oh, this flagship looks impressive, but Captain Liang, don't get happy too soon—when would people from your transport team ever get to touch a ship of this caliber? At most, you'd only hear its name, and besides...'

He hadn't finished speaking when Pan-Rock 071 suddenly announced, 'Alert! Unknown fleet detected, no friend-or-foe identification system, distance 3 kilometers, flagship length approximately 80 meters, identified as Night Heron-class pirate ship, equipped with heavy missile launchers, two escort ships are forming a pincer attack!'

Chen Mo's face instantly changed. He immediately ordered the mech to synchronize scan data to the space station's public channel. Just as he was about to speak, the space station's communication channel was torn apart by a harsh static sound, and a gruff voice, full of arrogance, echoed through every compartment: 'People in 'Anchor Point - 73', listen up! All four 'Clear Sky' ships stay, cargo bays open! If you don't comply within three minutes, we'll blow up the space station!'

Liang Yu and Chen Mo froze simultaneously. Chen Mo immediately called the space station commander: 'Commander Zhang! Activate the shields quickly! Pan-Rock's scan shows the pirates have heavy missiles, and we only have infantry equipment, completely unable to contend with warships!'

'The defensive shield broke last month!' Commander Zhang's voice was tearful. 'The repair parts still haven't arrived; it's just for show now!'

Liang Yu took a deep breath, grabbed the communicator and switched to the public channel, her tone as steady as possible: 'Pirate overlords! We will cooperate with unloading, but there's too much cargo in the four 'Clear Sky' ships, three minutes is simply not enough. Give us 30 minutes, and we'll sort and unload the important parts, we promise no tricks!' The pirate side was silent for a few seconds, then the gruff voice boomed again: '30 minutes! If it's not unloaded by then, we'll blow up the space station along with it!'

After hanging up, Liang Yu immediately told her colleagues to send out a CIC wide-area distress signal, her fingertips rapidly tapping on the terminal: 'Attach the pirate data scanned by the mech to the signal, so reinforcements can understand the situation in advance!' Chen Mo also leaned over: 'The nearest Peak Power outpost is a full 3000km away, it seems we can't rely on them. I'll have our 'Big Guy' continuously scan, so we can get an immediate warning if the pirates make a move.'

 

'Captain Ai Li, we've received an internal CIC wide-area distress signal, from Anchor Point - 73, they've encountered pirates, Night Heron-class. Our people are trying to buy time.'

'How far?'

'Approximately 120km.'

'How much time?'

'About 30 minutes.'

'That's enough, let's depart. Report it to the 'Qiming' Super Spaceport.'

'But...'

'Depart.'

 

Inside the space station, time passed minute by minute. Liang Yu and her colleagues frantically unloaded cargo, Pan-Rock Mech 071's scanning probe remained pointed in the direction of the pirates, and the countdown on the holographic screen kept ticking. When the countdown reached the final 10 seconds, Liang Yu looked at the still-empty starry sky, hardened her heart, and called the pirate channel again: 'There's too much cargo, give us 5 more minutes, we'll definitely finish unloading in the last 5 minutes!'

'Are you playing with us?' The pirate's voice instantly bristled with fury. 'Time's up! Blow up this wretched station!'

Outside the viewport, the Night Heron-class flagship's launch ports suddenly glowed with dazzling red light. Big Pan-Rock immediately stated: 'Heavy missile launch detected. Based on trajectory prediction, the target is this station's dock. Please take cover.'

'We're finished.' Liang Yu subconsciously closed her eyes. Chen Mo also pulled his team members behind the mech.

'If this unit is used as cover, it can theoretically absorb 2% of the impact and blast force,' Pan-Rock Mech 71 stated.

'Missile distance 2km.'

'Missile distance 1.2km.'

'Missile distance 800m.'

'Everyone prepare for impact!!'

……

The expected violent explosion did not occur.

'What's going on?' Chen Mo asked, puzzled.

The missiles exploded into two bursts of light 600m in front of the space station, and the space at the point of explosion actually began to slowly distort.

'Detected ultra-ultra-ultra-ultra-ultra-ultra-giga-giga-giga-giga-gigantic target signal.' Pan-Rock Mech seemed to be affected by the electromagnetic interference from the recent explosion.

'Robot, be more precise! What do you mean 'ultra-gigantic target'?' another member of Chen Mo's team said.

'You... look... what... is... that...!' Liang Yu said, with obvious trembling.

Everyone looked out of the station, and their hair stood on end—the distorted space slowly receded, and an enormous, dark red hull appeared before their eyes.

'Scan complete, the giant target's closest distance to this station is approximately 200m, dimensions approximately 435m*75m*188m, friend-or-foe identification signal is lit, showing as friendly, codenamed CFS-80A,' Pan-Rock Mech stated expressionlessly.

At this moment, Ai Li's voice sounded on the public channel: 'This is the CIC Red Dragon-class Battle Flagship. We advise your vessel to disarm and surrender immediately.'

'Red Dragon-class... Battle Flagship...' Liang Yu murmured, her fingertips unconsciously tightened around the terminal. The Yu-Long class dynamic on the screen was still on the homepage. She had never imagined that CIC had battlecruisers of this caliber.

'This is too exaggerated.' Chen Mo also couldn't help but mutter to himself, his gaze fixed on the colossal warship outside the viewport, like a steel mountain; even his breathing softened a little.

But from the Night Heron-class pirate flagship, an even more furious roar came: 'What the hell is a Red Dragon-class! And a battle flagship! Blow them all to pieces!!'

No sooner had he spoken, Pan-Rock Mech's urgent broadcast came: 'Four heavy missiles launched detected! Source: Night Heron-class! Distance 3km, speed Mach 1.2, trajectory locked on Red Dragon-class!'

'Four?!' A member of Chen Mo's team instantly jumped up. 'If those hit, even with that shield just now...'

Liang Yu's eyes also widened. She had seen what heavy missiles do when they blast through 'Clear Sky' armor. The power of a four-missile salvo was enough to shatter a small space station. Yet the Red Dragon-class remained completely still, its massive thruster arrays hadn't even ignited.

'Missiles at 2km! Entering Red Dragon-class defensive range!' Pan-Rock Mech continued to broadcast. Everyone in the space station clenched their fists, even forgetting to answer Commander Zhang's call.

The next second, four missiles successively hit the Red Dragon-class's pale blue shield. There was no earth-shattering explosion, only four fragmented bursts of light erupted on the shield's surface, like sparks falling on glass. The shield only rippled slightly, and the missile debris drifted into deep space.

'This... How is this possible?' A member of Chen Mo's team's voice was trembling. 'Four heavy missiles, and it didn't break through the shield at all?'

At this moment, on the Red Dragon's bridge, Ai Li's fingertips rapidly swept across the control panel, bringing up the hidden access interface for the 'Hong Huang' super ultimate weapon, her fingertips tapping on the authorization code input area—as the core designer of 'Hong Huang', this string of code, written by her own hand, was the key to breaking through conventional power limits.

'Unlock emergency access, 'Hong Huang' charging 1%, directed focus on Night Heron-class engine room.' Ai Li's command was clearly transmitted to the weapon control panel. The charging progress bar on the screen instantly jumped from 0 to 1%. In just 12 seconds, a cold, silver-blue light emanated from the 'Hong Huang' launch port at the ship's bow.

Pan-Rock Mech's scan instantly detected an anomaly: 'Extremely high energy concentration detected! Measurement upper limit of 20 million joules has been breached.'

Everyone gasped, not knowing what to do.

Just then, Ai Li's voice echoed on the public channel once more.

'It's my turn, Red Dragon-class, eliminate target.'

No sooner had she spoken, a cold, silver-blue light suddenly flared from the Red Dragon-class's bow. To be precise, it was just a fleeting flash, not the red glow of missile launch, but a more slender, yet sharper light.

The flash directly pierced through the Night Heron. A moment later, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted from the middle of the Night Heron-class hull, the metal casing of the engine room was instantly melted through, and the entire 80-meter long flagship drifted into space like a kite with a broken string, and a few seconds later disintegrated into fragments in a series of secondary explosions.

Seeing this, the two pirate escort ships nearby were so terrified that their engines instantly overloaded, their previously alert posture instantly disintegrated. They turned around and fled towards the asteroid belt, trailing chaotic pale purple exhaust plumes, not even daring to glance back at the abandoned pirate wreckage, disappearing into deep space in the blink of an eye.

'Night Heron-class pirate flagship confirmed destroyed, two escort ships fled, threat neutralized,' Pan-Rock 71 reported matter-of-factly.
