[MOC] Mandalorian Kom'rk Class Gauntlet Starfighter - Alternate Build of 75362 Ahsoka Tano's T-6 Shuttle

[Wurger49]

 

The Kom’rk Class Gauntlet was the original Mandalorian starfighter that first appeared on the Clone Wars series. Its signature cranked arrow wings can pivot 360 degrees around the cockpit to reduce the G-force on the pilot while doing heavy maneuvers.

 The Fang Fighter was derived from this Gauntlet, since I have already designed it I thought it’s a good opportunity redesign it to the original Mandalorian starfighter, its overall shape is based on the 2021 Mandalorian Starfighter Lego set.

The Gauntlet has twin engines on each wing, while the Fang Fighter has only one on each wing with a central engine behind the cockpit. I modified the wings to accommodate the twin engines. The four engine outlets are made by two 2x2 round plates. There are only three pieces of 2x2 round stud tiles, but you need four for the trans-light blue inverted radar dishes to represent all four engine exhausts. If you had made my A-Wing, B-Wing or Gunship builds, you will have a spare 2x2 round stud tile.
 
The Gauntlet has long forward mandibles with twin laser cannons in between, while the Fang Fighter has the cannons on the wings. The cockpit was redesigned to fit two minifigures and used two 1x12 black plates to support the long mandibles. Two lightsaber hilts are used for laser cannons.
 
Due to the piece limitations, the wings cannot rotate into an upright position for landing.
