I recently received my first Brickforge order! Naturally, the first thing I did was build a steampunk tie fighter out of a gladiator visor and two shields :)
The F-5 was developed as a low-cost fighter to support US allies in the 60s. Due to its qualities and simple maintenance, it remains in service in many air forces today.
Size comparison:
- Mc Donnel Douglas F-15C Baz of the IAF (Israeli Air Force), 1982.
- Northrop F-5E Tiger II of the Schweizer Luftwaffe (Swiss Air Force), 1995.
- Lockhead F-117 Nighthawk of the U.S.A.F. (United States Air Force), 1983.
LEGO MOC of Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bomber in scale of 1:34
The Sukhoi Su-34 (Russian: Сухой Су-34; NATO reporting name: Fullback) is a Soviet-origin Russian twin-engine, twin-seat, all-weather supersonic medium-range fighter-bomber/strike aircraft. It first flew in 1990, intended for the Soviet Air Forces, and it entered service in 2014 with the Russian Air Force.
More pictures on MOCpages here.
This was built for the second round of the 2013 MocOlympics along with the Tank and the Artillery.
My entry made it - now to round 3!
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 Found some old pictures and yet unpublished here.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.

Hello, everyone! Here is a new shot from me. I´ve been into that "film look" lately, so this is the result. Shot with Tokina 12-24 and edited in GIMP.
Have a great evening!
3 years later, the evolution of the Nemesis concept.
Some improvements still need to be done.

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.
Looking around through the archives again, this photo reminded me a small TTV set I've started but never kept up with.
A Star Wars TIE Fighter landed at last weekend’s ESA Open Days at ESTEC in the Netherlands, taking up residence in our Hertz radio-frequency test chamber, where it was seen by more than 8 000 visitors over Saturday and Sunday.
The theme of the Open Days was ‘Science Fiction Gets Real’. As all Imperial recruits would know, the TIE in TIE Fighter stands for Twin Ion Engine, and in real life ESA makes regular use of ion engine technology: the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission is currently cruising to Mercury thanks to its onboard ion thrusters.
The full-sized TIE Fighter appeared courtesy of German fan group Project X-1. To see how it got into the Hertz chamber, check out this time-lapse video.
Hertz is usually used to test the radio performance of satellites, including radar instruments’ ability to survey Earth or other planets, or the efficiency of onboard radio systems linking back to Earth.
Part of ESA’s technical heart in the Netherlands, the metal-walled ‘Hybrid European Radio Frequency and Antenna Test Zone’ chamber is shut off from all external influences. Its internal walls are studded with radio-absorbing ‘anechoic’ foam pyramids, allowing radio-frequency testing without any distorting reflections.
Its name starts with ‘Hybrid’ because the chamber can assess radio signals from antennas both in localised ‘near-field’ terms or else on a ‘far-field’ basis, as if the signal has crossed thousands of kilometres of space. A new, larger, Hertz 2.0 is currently under construction.

Acting more like a fighter than a twin-prop 'airliner', Royal Netherlands Air Force 'KLu' Fokker F-27M Troopship' smoke trails around the sky during her 'aerobatic' display at the Soesterberg Air Base 'Open Dag' - 1st September 1984.

Note:
See how Flickr auto-tags have spotted that this was indeed taken 'outdoors' and have added 'Insect' & 'Animal' ...priceless!!
The Kiven is renowned for its maneuverability in space but unlike most space fighters this ship also handles incredibly well in atmosphere. Unfortunately this has led to a very steep learning curve for the craft and many inexperienced pilots have been known to exceed 5Gs while banking and pass out. In training this is not an issue as the auto-pilot is able to take over until the pilot recovers, however in combat auto-pilots are too predictable and easy to shoot down.

Feel free to comment, I will comment one of yours! But still be honest
For the Contest AssembleTheFleet2020
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.
This is my entry into the Starfighter Telephone Game. I took Mark Stafford's design, expanded the tail wings, split the engine, softened the overall orangeness, and, oh yeah made it a Transformer.
An old Canberra aircraft at the side of the road at Willowbank, near RAAF base Amberley, Queensland, Australia. I know it's not a fighter jet, but I liked the title! The Canberra saw service with the RAAF from 1953 to 1982. My old neighbour was a RAAF pilot & flew these out of Amberley, crashing twice in his career, he will no doubt have flown this aircraft during his service. I'm guessing that it has a private owner now as it's not in great condition & serves more as a place for pigeons to roost!
