The HU.1 Perseus is a utility VTOL that has a rear cabin for four fully-equipped infantry (six over short distances, as long as they're friendly). It has a chin turret with a 2cm tri-barrel powergun, and can also carry a variety of underwing stores so can serve as a passable gunship.
The Perseus is used by three Hammer's Slammers units as a fast APC flying nap-of-the-earth when in the combat zone, staying down among the weeds to avoid being shot out of the sky. Both the Eaglewing and the Texian 101st base their forces around VTOL transports and gunships, while Guardforce O'Higgins' veteran Fianóglach company are equipped with a number of Perseus and act as a rapid-reaction unit. In the detachment lists for these three forces, the Perseus replaces the Black Crow VTOL.
The model is a four-part resin kit (body, tail and two wings) with five metal parts (turret, two tail fins, two cabin doors).
