DESCRIPTION
The main role of the Starwolf Tactical Fighter is 'First Attack Wave Suppression (FAWS)'. An attacking force will typically launch multiple fighters to engage the capital ships offensive and defensive weapon systems. Starwolves are launched to prevent this 'first wave' of attacking fighters to reach the capital ships by greatly reducing their numbers before coming into in range. The remaining enemy fighters are more easily handled by the capital ships defense network.
As a secondary, attack role, the Starwolf can use it's Hedgehog system to overwhelm the shields of enemy capital class ships with a single burst of 16 missiles with a synchronized impact on a specific point. Only when friendly capital ships have trouble engaging enemy capital ships will Starwolves be deployed for this role. The problem with this tactic is that Starwolves will need to be heavily supported by fighters when attacking enemy ships head on.
Starwolves have atmospheric flight capabilities, however this uses considerably more fuel than spaceflight. A Starwolf is incapable of landing on a planet surface.
STANDARD OFFENSIVE WEAPON SYSTEMS LOADOUT
Two 'Muger MK7' 20 mm caliber chain guns
The guns fire a mix of armor piercing incendiary tracers and high explosive rounds at a rate of 2400 rounds per minute with a spool-up time of 0.5 seconds.
Two 'Kurstroski-S30' 30 mm caliber cannons
The cannons fire High Explosive Dual Purpose rounds at a rate of 350 rounds per minute.
Four 'Spagin HE5' High Explosive Missiles
Standard multi purpose fire-and-forget missiles with proximity detection systems.
HAAM16 'Hedgehog' Multimissile System
Multiple 'SPIKE' missiles fired simultaneously at up to 16 targets. The missiles are guided by the Hedgehog radar system. The high maneuverability of the missiles makes them capable of evading most countermeasures while guided by the Hedgehog. The system can also be used to overwhelm the shields of capital-class vessels.
DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS
Electronic warfare pod
The pod integrated in the lower wing is outfitted with many types of electronic warfare capabilities that include field jamming (producing a stealth bubble around the ship), ghosting (projecting false data) and tactical hacking (taking control of enemy ship systems, as well as some reconnaissance abilities.
Starburst
The starburst system ejects multiple decoys in different directions to confuse enemy guided weapon systems.

NOTES
This was originally planned as a more standard shaped fighter. But once I started work on the engines the ship grew more in width than it did in length. Also, the placeholder dual wings looked kind of cool, so I build on that. The problem was getting it to be stable enough to be handled, and sturdy enough to hold up the cockpit section. I had a blast building it because it turned out so different than I had initially planned. Please check out the other views in the Starwolf set as they explain more than I can tell you (especially the front view).
My son (8) and I have been working on this over the last week. The Foo's have recently hinted another tour to our country and a new album so we are both excited to hear what they will be performing :) \m/
Hello,
New starfighter.
I had those big fig torso from King Mathias set for about 4 years.......you know what it is , you see some cool weird parts , you can resists and you buy em even if you don't really need them, but you know one day you'll use them in a build
Today is the time for my second US Navy fighter jet, which underwent some minor changes: an F-14A Tomcat in the colors of VF-31 Tomcatters. The F-14 is one of the most demanding aircraft to build with Lego, and shortly after completing it in March 2022, I started noticing flaws that needed improvement.
Firstly, I changed the black nose cone of the aircraft from pointed to more rounded. Additionally, the Tomcat received new wings that are slightly smaller and more swept back, giving it a less glider-like appearance. The Phoenix missiles have been moved under the fuselage, and I also replaced the wing pylons with less bulky ones that now carry Sidewinders. Other minor changes include the front landing gear, a more rearward-sloping cockpit profile, and new decals.
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.
New addition to a Fighter Series of portraits for the Train Like a Pro Event.

This is a night-fighter (Nachtjäger) variant of what was originally a twin-engined Zerstörer (destroyer, heavy fighter). The aircraft had been designed by the German aircraft company Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) and produced by its successor company, Messerschmitt.
The basic Bf 110 (or sometimes Me 110) had been successful in the early stages of WWII but proved vulnerable to both Spitfires and Hurricanes during the Battle of Britain because of its lack of manoeuvrability. The type found its niche during the winter of 1940-41 as a night-fighter in defensive operations.
At first, the three aircrew had no special equipment, relying on their eyes alone to find enemy aircraft in the dark. Ground-controlled interception began from mid 1941 and the Bf 110 began to take its toll on RAF bombers and was soon an aircraft to be feared.
Airborne radar was used experimentally during 1941, effective up to a maximum distance of 3.5 km and capable of bringing the Bf 110 to within 200m of a target. However, its effectiveness varied massively during the latter half of the conflict as a result of Allied countermeasures and German radar advances alike.
It had a heavy armament, featuring two 20mm and two 30mm cannons firing forward and two 7.92mm machine-guns firing to the rear. Some (not the one above) were modified with Schräge Musik upward-firing machine-guns/cannons; these often had a devastating impact on British night-bombing raids over Germany. As late as February 1945, a single raid of 800 aircraft lost 62 bombers, many shot down by Schräge Musik-equipped aircraft, including one that shot down seven!
What this aircraft does have, is the very prominent second-generation FuG 220 Hirschgeweih (stag's antlers) antennas for the VHF air-to-air intercept radar. The plane was surrendered to the British in May 1945 at the end of the war. It is now on display at the RAF Museum, Hendon.
I wanted to build a WW2 style fighter plane for my Alternate World Nation, Esthia. The result was the Barugon!
The Barugon was a single seat fighter armed with two 20mm auto-cannons on the wings and a powerful 37mm engine mounted gun. Equipped with a 2700hp engine, it was extremely fast and agile. It could also carry ground attack rockets and bombs.
About the MOC:
I wanted to build a plane that somehow resembled the Yak-3 or the Mig-3 but with a better view for the pilot. The model has retractable landing gear as usual.
The name of the plane came from one of the Monsters of the Gamera franchise. :D

The aging AX-9 "Gunfighter" was sorely in need of replacement in the late 2430's. Hyperius Industries, already cementing a great deal of rapport with the USMF for their "Aquila" class scout, proposed this design to fill the heavy fighter roll.
The "Scorpion" class was given its name for the large mandible-type protrusions from the front of the cockpit area. These armatures were needed to house the massive heavy repeating lasers. Typically, these weapons were used as point defense on capital ships, and no one but the brilliant minds at Hyperius would have dared mounting such fearsome weaponry on a one-man ship. In addition to the heavy repeating lasers, the "Scorpion" also features two gauss cannons mounted on the wings and a pair of missile launchers beneath.
Though a few components are shared between the "Scorpion" and it's smaller brother the "Aquila" (namely the protected cockpit/pilot housing) the "Scorpion" could not be more different. It is quickly becoming the go-to favorite of USMF dogfighting aces. The "Scorpion" is a fierce threat to enemy fighters and heavier craft as well.
The Bristol Fighter is a sports car produced by Bristol Cars in small numbers from 2004 until the company suspended manufacturing in 2011. It is generally classed as a supercar.
The coupé body, which features gullwing doors, was designed by former Brabham Formula One engineer Max Boxstrom

The Aurek-Wing starfighter was an experimental starfighter which resembled the shape of the first letter in the Aurebesh alphabet "Aurek". It was an extremely fast and agile fighter with similar features to the U-Wing fighter. Its most notable feature was its prong-like retractable wings or S-foils that could split apart at the front to switch from flight to attack mode, thereby increasing the size of the ship's deflector shields and the spread of its fire, which earned it the nickname of Scissor Fighter. It also featured retractable landing gear, a central fin, laser cannons on each wing and in front of the cockpit, large engines on each side, as well as a small thruster behind the cockpit.
This is not a new MOC sadly just a quick updated and revisit my old Fighter plane the FB12 FOXBAT FIGHTER Mark II. Found some old pictures and yet unpublished here.
Build way back in the late 2013 after I decided to upgraded the Foxbat Mark I which i thought could do better in term of design. Fold out gun cannon, landing gear, flap wing, hidden missiles below bay and LED light on the cockpit. One of the first MOC plane i did attempt to make with LED light!
This Foxbat was finally upgraded in2014. Another MOC version of it? Mark III? Maybe ;) Let me know what do you think?
FUN FACTS: Oh I did uploaded this Foxbat MOC in LEGOIdeas but couldn’t even make it to a thousand but i got a lot of good feedbacks and i do appreciated it. My MOC is one of kind.
Looking around through the archives again, this photo reminded me a small TTV set I've started but never kept up with.
The Si-Fighter is the Cadillac of designer Starfighters. From the Si-Industries it is the height of opulence. It is not particularly fast, nor armoured or even armed, this starfighter is nothing more than an extravagantly expensive Starfighter shaped after the Si-Industries' distinctive and obnoxious S. In fact this fighter's really only function is being a status symbol. A gaudy display of hubris that screams to the world that "you made to the finals."
And Zoid has one XD

In case people were wondering, yes before I left on vacation I had a S fighter ready to go for the FBTB alphabet fighter finals - in fact the final 5 fighters were built in about two weeks before I left. Definitely a fun contest, but I think I'm done with starfighters for awhile haha
The Vila-Desparador VL-1000 Thanatos (in Greek – “Death”) is a single-seat, carrier-capable twin-engine 5th-generation hipermaneuverable strike-fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology.
The fighter's primary missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), anti-shipping, air interdiction and close air support.
The Thanatos has four separate internal weapons bays, two on the bottom and sides of the fuselage. It can carry twelve compressed carriage medium range missile in the center bay and one short range missile in each of the two side bays.
While in its air-superiority configuration the VL-1000 carries its weapons internally, it is not limited to this option. The wings include at least ten hardpoints, four of them rated to handle 5,000 kg anti-ship missiles. However, use of external stores compromises the Thanatos stealth, and has a detrimental effect on maneuverability, speed, and range (unless external fuel is carried).

Please comment or fav! Thank you! :)
The LB7 Talon is a light bomber piloted by two. It is equipped with a large anti cruiser cannon, two small missile pods, a shield generator, and countermeasures. This was incredibly difficult to photograph.

Simon Liu somehow you caught me.
Star wars is not a topic that I have a lot of knowledge about.
But who cares, they're spaceships.
I chose the good old republic with the classic Venator, and a few Jedi fighters with V-Wing fighter support.
The Venator is 30.5 studs long, the fighter ... well as small as it was possible for me.
I hope you all like my contribution.
Después de todo el robo y el engaño
Probablemente piensas que tengo resentimiento hacia ti
Pero, oh no, estás equivocado
Porque si no fuera por todo lo que intentaste hacer
Yo no sabría todo lo capaz que soy de reponerme
Así que quiero decir gracias
Porque me hace mucho más fuerte
Me hace trabajar un poco más duro
Me hizo mucho más sabia
Así que gracias por hacerme una combatiente
An aquatic star fighter (or perhaps that should be starfish fighter).
It is intended to be the opposite of Don's Fighter. Instead of a very horizontal ship with a forward taper, I did a more vertical ship with a backward taper. Don had the cockpit near the rear, I moved it to the front. Lastly, his is designed for battling in the heights of space, mine is deigned for battling in the deepest oceans.
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.
