This is a major rework of my A-6 MOC, with a newly designed radome and forward fuselage with a new double tandem cockpit with separately opening canopies. Even though I started with an existing MOC, it still took several days to engineer the new forward section and get the look right. Features include dual tandem seat cockpits with room for 4 minifigures, opening dual canopies, opening radome with radar antenna, fully functioning landing gear, folding wings, positionable emergency ram air turbine generator, positionable crew boarding ladder, positionable tail hook, and fully poseable flight control surfraces including flaperons, spoilerons, wingtip airbrakes, and all moving horizontal stabilators. I would love any feedback! http://mocpages.com/folder.php/176678 EA-6B Prowler carrier based electronic warfare aircraft

<p>This was my second large scale LEGO aircraft MOC project, starting with the A-6E FLIR model. I have so far made 4 variants of this aircraft, including the original A-6A, the electronic warfare EA-6A, the airborne tanker KA-6D, and the aforementioned A-6E. They are a slightly larger scale than the F-4 MOCs, around 1:18th, and every bit as detailed with numerous functioning parts and details. Features include a dual seat cockpit with room for 2 minifigures, opening sliding canopy, opening radome with radar antenna, fully functioning landing gear, folding wings, positionable emergency ram air turbine generator, positionable crew boarding ladder, positionable tail hook, and fully poseable flight control surfraces including flaperons, spoilerons, wingtip airbrakes (A-6A, A-6E) or fuselage mounted airbrakes (EA-6A, KA-6D), and all moving horizontal stabilators. Would love to hear feedback! http://mocpages.com/folder.php/176677 A-6A Intruder carrier based attack aircraft EA-6A Intruder carrier based electronic warfare aircraft KA-6D Intruder carrier based refueler aircraft A-6E Intruder carrier based attack aircraft

A futuristic military aircraft with a Halloween color-scheme! It took me a while to give it a name. Possibilities included "Reaper" (which I had used for a different MOC), "Shadow" (which is used often), and "All Havoc's Eve" (which sounded too clunky).

This is my first review, so feel free to offer advice and/or (constructive) criticism. Growing up, I had a "brick bucket" but few actual Lego sets. One of the only sets i remember having was the "Eagle Stunt Flyer", which at some point was "borrowed" by my younger brother, and half the pieces were never to be seen again... This set feels like something of a spiritual successor to that set, with the addition of the ground support vehicle thrown in: Back view of packaging: Bags and manuals: bag 1 is the ground cart and mechanic figure, bag 2 is the plane itself. Bag 1 assembled: With driver and toolchest together. I find it somewhat odd that it has the driver driving in a standing position; I think it would have been better to include a seat or something: I didn't like the single offset beacon, so I added a second orange cone from my spare parts bin for symmetry: The plane itself. I must say, this really captures the look of a modern stunt plane, with the large engine "scoop", the bubble canopy, and the use of bright colors and eye-catching patterns. The pilot minifig is excellent as well, with his mirrored sunglasses and pilot's uniform. With the pilot at the controls: Overall, I'd give the set a 9/10: it may be a bit bare-bones, but overall it does what it has to do, and at only $20, it's quite a bargain by Lego price standards. Other than a few niggles with the cart, I can see the set providing hours of fun, as the plane is an inherently whooshable design and so far it holds together well through sharp maneuvers (I had to test fly it after all ). I know some people don't like stickers, but here the stickers aren't excessive and they're easy to place.
