I have one. Lessee...
I think it could work. It's noticeably shorter than the original arm by about 4mm, but it's about 30% wider at the muzzle, and so still looks good. Moreover, the tubelike projection under the RAC is perfect for one of the ERMLs, requiring only that you kitbash a second laser on the other side. I don't know how big the Cygnus's ammo feed is, but that piece might work here too.
The
Cygnus' ammo feed is far too big for the small
Blade :(
You could probably shorten and bend it, but that is beyond my rudimentary skills
A word of warning. Those weird tubes sticking out the Blade's back? Those are a true pain to put in. Not difficult, but really annoying.
Yeah, I know. One of mine is crooked. I could fix it, but don't want to rip it off again and running the risk to accidentally rip out one of the others, too.
Aside from that, It's a really easy mini to work with. If my RAC arm weren't already slated for a Schwerer Gustav attempt, I'd try to upgrade my Blade with it.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of that one. I love that big ugly bastard :)
Only used it once so far in combat, but I like it, a good strike 'mech. The only weakness it has is having the armor of the light 'mech it is, but packing the firepower of a medium. You CANNOT let that firepower go to your head, or you'll get the 'mech shot out from under you.
It's a fun little bugger :)
