As someone could probably guess by my avatar, one of my favorite all-time desgins is the Centuri Satellite Killer. I've always loved the look of this saucer, and wanted to build it or clone it someday. After seeing the high prices of vintage kits, and not wanting to try and clone the fiberboard fins, I've had an idea for a "sequel" of sorts brewing in the back of my mind for a few years now. Sometimes the muse just strikes you....
Instead of the Anti-satellite/Cold War vibe of the original, my new design is a concept of a satellite that would be placed into Earth orbit to search the heavens and defend our planet from any celestial interloper on a collision course with Earth.
The EVR "Asteroid Killer"

I'm still working on a structural ring that goes around the body and fuel tanks, and am open to suggestions for any other details.
Thoughts?
