📋 About This Mod
Pawel Czarnecki used to make these amazing high quality renders back around 2001 and 2002 with some gorgeous models. This one that I'm
implementing is his Fafnir model into Mechwarrior 5.
If you want to support my work and motivate me to make more mechs for Mechwarrior 5 (and 6?), please consider supporting my Patreon
You can easily add the mech to your savegame by getting the mod Mech Delivery
