[MOC] Alternative build for set 42039 - Starfighter

[MacKaiwer]

Hello again! This time I wanted to make something new from set 42039 and here is the result, Starfighter. It's a attack type plane for the battles in outer space.

Parts are only from set 42039 and this time it has no wheels

It has two laser guns besides the cockpit and two head lights to light darkness:

Effective delta wing design:

Openable cockpit doors for easier access:

Two rotating rocket motor for flying (operated by turning front nosecone):

Under belly shot; openable bomb/missile bay (check video) and landing gears:

Springs/shocks are just for support and looks:

Little video showing functions:

Thank you for watching, comments and critics are most welcome

PS. After one sleepless night it was already built and flying on the walls

Very nice, I am really getting impressed about all of the MOCS from just this one set (and remember how everyone knocked the design when the final images were first posted). Looks like what an authentic space fighter would look like, and good details.

What would a space fighter need wings and a tailplane rudder for?

Thanks guys, it was quite a fun and laughs to build it

I dunno, but maybe for the looks and when it enters some planets athmosphere it would be kind of nice to be able to steer

I was going to say the exact same thing. This set has no appeal to me but it's fun to see the alternate builds people are making with it.

This Starfighter is very good looking and makes me realize this set isn't as bad as I thought it was.

Looks really good. Makes a nice change to see something different.

Thank you, I wasn't expecting such a nice compliment. I think my skills have a lot of room for improvement but I'm glad my feedback had a good effect. Good builds like this one deserve recognition.

i like the cars dokludi makes, but something different is also welcome. i think about buying it as well, you can apparently do lots of things with it
