The Retaliation was designed to meet a specification issued by the Central Committee of the People's Collective for an inexpensive, easily maintained aircraft with which to protect their Homeland. Struggling with the conflicting demands of high performance and low cost it is amazing that the Retaliation turned out as well as it did.
The spherical recess underneath the model is for mounting it on a 4.5mm (.177in) BB.
