The USMF's elite pilots (those given the rank of Paladin) are a tough breed whose exploits are well known across the galaxy. Though qualified on a wide array of different craft (including ones not used by the USMF) most Paladins operate solo or in small groups; often great distances from allied bases or capital ships and thus have found great use in one-man fighter craft with FTL capability.
Miniaturizing FTL jump drives is a complex and costly process, but the benefits of a faster-than-light starfighter are numerous. For years, the USMF Paladins utilized the AX-20 "Katana" in this role. While a sturdy and fast ship, the Katana's production foundry was completely destroyed in the beginning stages of the Dimension Wars, and as such, it's service numbers dwindled further from the already small amount (in comparison to non-FTL fighters in the fleet).
Starcom Solution's answered the call for a "faster-than-light jack of all trades" by introducing the "Tekkan" (a name of Japanese origin inspired by its spiritual predecessor "Katana"). Starcom Solutions, living up to it's name, conquered the complex issue of small FTL jump drives with a unique solution; the drive systems were built at the capital ship shipyards on Saturn and then shipped to Neptune where quantum technology was used to shrink the units down to a smaller size.
Impressed by the originality of Starcom Solutions' engineering prowess, the USMF quickly requested a Tekkan for immediate trial runs. The first Tekkan produced (which was painted red with white markings as tribute to the Katana) passed its tests with flying colors (no pun intended) and was assigned to Paladin Kira Janus.
The Tekkan features twin heavy repeating lasers (much like those found on Hyperius Industries' "Scorpion"-class heavy fighter) and twin "Mjölnir"-type lightning cannons, which fire thunderous bolts of energy across great distances. These weapons pack quite the punch and require no ammunition, but require a great amount of charge time. If safety protocols are bypassed, the capacitor banks can overcharge and result in a devastating chain reaction.
I was wondering what to do with the Lego Aircraft front nose assembly piece. Then I turned it into a face mask for a rookie trainee at Tie Fighter School. He’s only got three fingers and that’s why he’s struggling with the flight controls.
Initially developed by Unitron as a stealth complement to the S-2.a Starhawk II, the S-4 was the culmination of the Stargazer project. Unfortunately for Unitron, the first S-4 prototype was stolen right out of its hangar by Spyrius forces, eager for a new stealthy multi-role fighter ship of their own.
Repainted and given the new designation of Stalker, the ship is rapidly proving that its capabilities exceed initial expectations. Just not for the people who designed it...
Been kicking around the idea of building some Spyrius for a while now. You can never have too much 90s space.

The USS Midway Museum is a maritime museum located in downtown San Diego, California at Navy Pier. The museum consists of the aircraft carrier Midway. The ship houses an extensive collection of aircraft, many of which were built in Southern California

A closer look at the updated version of my very first MOC from 2021. Now features an angled stand, lit interior and Twin Ion Engines, and laser cannons with blaster effect.
The targeting sticker is my own design from 2021. Lego finally released their own version in the UCS Interceptor this year.
The rear “window” sticker is a subtle troll, reflecting one of the inconsistencies between the TIE interior set and the miniatures.
This was a WIP forever that was originally intended for Peter's Assymetrical Fighter challange. It was gonna be much wider and much assymetricaller. But the big gun I was gonna add didn't really play out, and I was getting tired of letting it languish, so I sold out and went symmetrical on it. I wanted to use a wider variety of purple parts, but it didn't really flow.
I really like the engine pods, but on the whole the ship is pretty bland from the front.
Order your fighters now from the new BNNA Federation catalogue. Only real BNNA credits accepted.
The BNNA Federation is a collective of planets in one of the more curious outskirts of space. Officially, BNNA stands for Betelgeusian Nations for Neutral Alliance. These letters were soon turned into the BANANA Republic by its people. Of course, their federation ship colours and uniforms didn't help here.
From the catalogue text:
"Our FF42 may not look like much. But what this gnat fighter doesn't have in armour, it makes up in speed and maneuverability. And in numbers! Due to our low low pricing, it is within any navy's range to launch hundreds of these agile stingers in a single go. Lovingly dubbed The Fruitfly, this ship is nothing more, nothing less, than a cockpit suspended between two combined engine/gun sections, making it one of the fastest and most agile fighters ever in space combat. In the back section of the cockpit, there is a limited storage for life support, communications and navigation control. This is why the FF42 has a limited range.
Our second ship, the Musa X is essentially a minifig-scale LS-type longship, useful as a long range non-atmospheric fighter. We can't help but call it 'the straight banana'. Like its predecessors (the Musa I till IX), this longship is fitted with a set of wings to house some of the guns, and more importantly, the engines. The Musa has two different sets of engines. One normal set, used at cruise speeds, and one extra set for extra power in dogfight situations. By housing the engines in the wings, the ship becomes much more agile than a traditional longship.
Our final ship in this presentation is the famous Pt41-n Tamal heavy atmospheric fighter. A very popular ship among its pilots, it is basically four enormous engines and a cockpit and some guns and rockets. But not only that: it has multiple layers of a very thick armour, rendering it a very, very fast flying tank. Get in!"
Ever since I built a mini Y-Wing and A-Wing I wanted to take on the challenge to build the iconic TIE Fighter in mini-scale. And here it is!

-This is the Mitsubishi A6M Zero Fighter manufactured by the Japanese during ww2. It was used in kamikaze attacks in the Battle of the Pacific.
-Folded from 60x60cm Vog Crumpled Dark Green
-Time spent = Around 6 hours
-I love how this model was structured and it was very fun to fold :)
Based off of maxvf1's design. At this point I've made many modifications big and small, the most obvious is the addition of the fast packs, and a different windscreen. I added a ball joint to the neck, and redesigned the tail-wings of the fighter, and how they transform. I hope to add the rest of the armor and armament soon!
Also, I've been watching the Robotech Macross Saga on hulu to get in the spirit. First time I've seen it since it originally aired in 1985!
During the USMF's return to power as a major faction in the galactic stage, the need for newer and better ships became more and more apparent. The fallout of the Dimension Wars left numerous unexplored pockets of space in its wake and the need to quickly scout these area was of keen importance to the USMF.
Hyperius Industries, a company who had never partnered with the USMF before, found itself in need of clients after their previous big buyers, (the mysterious "Continuum"), were eradicated in the Dimension Wars. The AV-002 was the first of two major contributions to the USMF's evolving fleet.
The "Aquila" is a a long range scout/fighter craft. Though it has very little in the way of shielding, it makes up for it in raw speed. It's light frame only adds to its agility. This is the most heavily armed you'll see an "Aquila" class ship; four light laser cannons. Though options for additional armaments exist, the USMF prefers to leave the role of interceptors, attack ships, and heavy fighters to other crafts in the fleet. The Av-002 is also sold in the civilian market as well, where it enjoys a high degree of notoriety in professional space racing venues.

The Ship Model was hand drawn in 2004 with colour pencils. It was then scanned and integrated into a screenshot from Eve Online via Photoshop. I then worked on it with a Graphics Tablet. (The ship on the bottom right is from Eve Online)
This drawing was inspired by the concept art Heron on the Eve Online website , years before i started playing

The Buffalo was one of the first U.S. monoplanes with an arrestor hook and other modifications for aircraft carriers. It won a competition against the Grumman F4F Wildcat in 1939 to become the U.S. Navy's first monoplane fighter aircraft.
