[MOC] Eta-2 Jedi Gunship - Alternate Build of 75401 Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor

[Wurger49]

The model is 21.6 cm wide, 19.4 cm long, 9.6 cm tall.
Or 8.5 inches wide, 7.6 inches long, 3.8 inches tall.
 
One of the reasons I put off design an alt. for 75401 Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor is the lack of it's windscreen on Studio, since I have overcome that mental hurdle as I released my Hot Rod Gunship without any rendering.
 
By utilizing the cockpit of the Eta-2 Jedi Interceptor, I thought to design Jedi Gunship with a single pilot that can carry a small team of Jedis across the battlefield. The design follows the standard gunship appearance of troop bay behind the cockpit and topside mounted wings.
 
The columns around the troop bay serve as the main structure for the gunship, where the large windscreen is clipped onto the 2 brackets and the 1x2 half circle tile. The slanted wings are connected via technic axles onto technic bricks sitting on the spine of the gunship.
 
The Eta-2 Jedi Gunship packs a punch with 2 nose laser cannons and 2 wing-mounted missiles launchers. The cockpit sits Ahsoka with Anakin and R7 standing in the back, the height of the troop bay is tall enough for the clone trooper too.
 
The model is strong enough to swoosh around and playing with minifigures, the dark red color schemed patterns make it a striking looking ship. It's in scale with my other small gunships from play scale Star Wars sets, making it a great addition to your LEGO collection.
