Custom Delta - 7 Aethersprite Light Interceptor (Star Wars Episode 2 Jedi Starfighter)
About this creation
Delta -7 Jedi Starfighter has always been one of my favorite Episode II starships. Though it is small and fast, it is in no way fragile. I was slightly disappointed in the official LEGO set, so one day (sometime in June 2005) when I had nothing better to do I started thinking about how it really was supposed to look. Before long, I had a fine model with perfect scaling and proportions, but without engines or landing gear.
Two or three days later, I found the solution for engines and strengthened the wings. The landing gear was still a problem. When done exactly by the scale I used on the rest of the fighter, the rear landing ‘foot’ would have to be 2.5 studs long. After a short struggle, I decided to make it 3 studs long. And, in my opinion, it turned out pretty well.

I couldn't find any better parts to use as engines...

Front landing gear. It's pretty accurate, but I'd like to give it a more triangular form.

The landing gear at the rear. Btw, the last piece I attached to the MOC was that 2x1 hinge pate.

Just thought some pics of the dissassembled JSF would be nice...

Note the way the wings are attached to the fuselage.

So, what do you say?
Jake, this is MY creation. It was designed and constructed completely by ME (Victor Sobolev, Supercat7 or Unknown Artist). I would NEVER use someone else's design without giving proper credit.

The overall shape is very precise, thought you could use some decorated tiles from the mini JSF on the nose. |
