[MOC] Jedi Interceptor Eta2 from "Revenge of the Sith"

[kevin8]

Hello to everyone,

after a long time I introduce you a new Moc, but after several modular buildings, I decided to concentrate my efforts on a Star Wars vehicle.

 

I find that Lego has so far not been able to make a reproduction of this fighter while maintaining its proportions and shape.

And it is a shame, because this fighter has in itself the seeds of Tie fighters, though without being identical or similar to the Tie fighters of the classic episodes. In this I find that despite all, prequel episodes, at least have a very powerful creative push, presenting means with recalls to the classic trilogy, but without copying it as it happens in episode 7. Obviously IMHO!
 

I made both Anakin and Obi-Wan custom fighter.

Anyway, here is the result of my attempts.

The wings were built to contain the landing gears and of course the droid.

The cockpit has been stretched to accommodate the sharper shapes of the original and I also tried to comply with the layout of the controls and the seat. At the bottom there is space for the central landing gear.

Here's the full gallery.

I'll sell building instructions as soon as I'll finish them, so contact me.
