Bob De Quatre Posted May 5, 2017 My entry for the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/898944@N23/discuss/72157681363323846/">Real World +200 Starfighter Contest</a> The DF-47 "Hawk" is a polyvalent starfighter designed by the Mars Conglomerate. Its main missions are patrolling the borders and escorting freighters. Its aerodynamic shape and control surfaces allow the DF-47 to fly in the low-density atmosphere of Mars. It is armed with two 19mm gun, firing perforating needle bullets. The fighter compensates its lack of armoring by an excellent maneuverability, using 16 RCS thrusters and a group of 3 CMGs, and a high precision radar coupled to the navigation computer. The DF-47 is equipped with the last generation LO2/LH2 hybrid rocket engine for initial thrust and acceleration, and six MPD thrusters to maintain speed. Two solar panels are installed on each wing and protected by a liftable cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Littleworlds Posted May 5, 2017 Now this is a really neat build. On first glance it doesn't even look like Lego Wonderful shaping and really neat details. This is close to perfection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trekkie99 Posted May 5, 2017 that is awesome!!! All the little wing pieces as paneling near the thrusters is great. And the way you put the cockpit at an angle? Two thumbs up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted May 5, 2017 Beautiful! The shaping is excellent, everything looks wonderful! What does the printed solar panel tile come in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danth Posted May 5, 2017 Well sculpted! Love the embedded rocket engines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obi1by1 Posted May 5, 2017 Wow! That's beautiful. Excellent colour blocking, and like LegoMonorailFan, I think the angled cockpit is terrific. I particularly like the cluster of tanks and capsule-like structures in the main body, where the wings join it. Fantastic. Like Leonardo, I'm also wondering where the solar panel tiles come from.

sander1992 Posted May 7, 2017 Another stunning looking ship coming from you. Great build. Thank you for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesabi Posted May 16, 2017 Great build Bob! I really like the detailing you did all around, but especially the cylinders towards the back, the liquid neon and hydrogen cylinders. I've got a question, what would you recommend for someone who wants to become as a good a builder as you? I've seen all your great creations, that shuttlebay, that bug thing, and I want to be able to do stuff like you. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarles Posted June 23, 2017 I like a good majority of the design. I think the canards look just a little thin for the design but It looks awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
