LG-340 Dioptase Ranger - a photo on Flickriver

             Named for the green mineral used in the production of its distinctively coloured canopies, the LG-340 was built for raw speed and could deliver incredible thrust in both atmospheric and zero gravity conditions. It became the model for later Federation policing craft when it was discovered that the windshield material was especially resistant to the later neon technologies that the Blacktron had developed. The sealed, detachable pods at the rear were repurposed as holding cells for transporting detainees and prisoners. 

I finally caved! My first large-scale foray into light bley space building. I won't abandon old grey for the 1979 colour scheme, but thought I would try bley for my second favourite Classic Space colour scheme - grey/trans-green/trans-red highlights - from 1980 and 1985. Had to be a bit clever on the cockpit to match the old style windscreen with appropriately angled parts in bley. I always found it interesting how the colour scheme was recycled into Space Police II livery. Obviously it needed a green Classic Space minifigure as a further link between the two.
