The Kit
The RAPOON is the Force Reconnaissance variant of the SAFS Mk.III RAPTOR — built for watching, not fighting. Closed sensor systems, suppressed signature, a pilot who goes in alone.
WAVE originally released this kit in 2017. It's been out of production since. The 2026 re-release was announced by WAVE Corporation this morning.
I built one in 2018 — it's still on the shelf. That build became the most-covered Ma.K. RAPOON content in the English language. The re-release earns a Redux.
