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
3 years later, the evolution of the Nemesis concept.
Some improvements still need to be done.

Built for the challenge over on Peter and Nnenn's group. I'm pretty sure this counts. It has a turret and four nacell engine gun thingies. Anyone at BrickCon this year might recognize the repetition of parts found in this years pick a brick selection.
The plane pile WILL grow larger. This time I've got a Mig-23 clone for you guys! First off, I got the tail planes from Kenenth Vaessen's Mig-23, as well as some of the ventral fuselage and ventral stabilizer. The front of the windscreen is also from him. However, everything else is of my own design, even if some parts look similar to other Mig-23s out there (the wings and nose especially). Sadly, the landing gear doesn't work because I'm a potato.
Fluff: The MeMe-23 is the penultimate culmination of the Kimmerian obsession with speed and swing-wings (there would be another fighter that surpassed it featuring both). Designed in the late 60s and entering production in the early 70s, it arrived just in time to be dumped on the United Anbat Republic during the War of Sirach, its bloody and frantic counter-attack against Samaria in 1974. This is one of those planes, still bearing the PRK flag.

Looking around through the archives again, this photo reminded me a small TTV set I've started but never kept up with.
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).

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.
@inthert_builds Tie fighter finally completed. The best companion to his T-65 X-wing, and probably the best shaped/scaled Tie out there. Now next stop, the Tie Interceptor…
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.
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.
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.
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
The MeMe-25R is the reconnaissance version of the MeMe-25. The Soviets dressed theirs up to look like an interceptor, I dressed mine up because I wanted an alternate color scheme to the other one.
Fluff:
With the development of high-speed, high altitude bombers in such countries as the Nordansk Federation, Agrum Empire, and Central Efrikan Republic, the People's Republic of Kimmeria decided to build a fighter to deal with such bombers. They definitely got what they asked for, there's no doubt about it. But it came with a number of problems that have yet to be sorted out...
What a treat!
Jeff Kaney rips through the air over Waukegan National Airport in his Northrop F-5A "Freedom Fighter."
A unique and last-minute addition to Wauekgan's 2017 airshow, seeing and hearing a living F-5A was completely cool.
A versatile platform even in spite of today's advanced military aircraft, the F-5 still soldiers on as a potent aerial adversary able to mimic a wide variety of Communist bloc aircraft.
Yo. Today I made a couple of figs, here they are!
The first as Flux in a sort of mission suit since his normal costume isn't quite so professional.
And the other is an attempt at BrickTailor's Fighter Wavelength. I couldn't make his scythe, but I might be able to soon and maybe then I can try a ponytail.
That's all for today, I have some Flickr Fighter drawings I'm working on so look out for those!
Until next time,
Thanks for clickin' and keep on brickin'!
Finally acquired a couple of these Nexo Knights windscreen elements and decided to build a nice little Ice Planet fighter to showcase one of them. I'm calling it the "Winterspike" because most of the other names that seemed appropriate (Ice Dagger, Snowhawk etc) seem to already be taken.
The Gralha is Polycron's entry to the escort fighter market. Escort fighters took advantage of technological leaps in FTL drive design; nowhere near as complicated as Strike Fighters and thus much more affordable.
Polycron made a design pitched at planetary militia and corporate security bodies, as opposed to purely military buyers. As such, it is lightly armed compared to the more war-bound vessels out there.
It is a competent dogfighter, especially when deployed in a pair, whilst excelling in no significant area. But for some groups, the Gralha is the only FTL capable fightercraft affordable.

Finally I built a Blacktron ship as well based on the spaceship of Carter Baldwin.
It features a single minifig cockpit, small cargo space and a verical engine

Built in two months for a contest.
The CBU Air Force (CBAF) has been operating the tried and tested single-seat Falcon multirole fighter for decades now. Despite being an older design and arguably in need of replacement, it has retained its position in the front lines by its adaptability to the latest-generation weapons systems and other avionics.
I've finally gotten around to building my first jet fighter, and after getting my feet wet, I hope and expect that it won't be my last. Thanks to Aleksander Stein, Ralph Savelsberg, John Lamarck, Bryce Rollins, and other building Aces out there for literally years of inspiration (and finally, it seems, influence)! Thanks also to WIP feedback from Dan Rubin, which helped me make the rear underside a little less square and more curved.
I started out with the nose and worked my way backward, and haphazardly ended up with something that looks to my eyes like a cross between an A-4 and a F-4; a real US-style Cold War Warrior of a fighter. Of course, it is quite plausible that CBU will want a more modern looking replacement before too long...

The Blacktron Stealth Infiltrator is a set proposal for Lego ideas consisting of 3 creations:
The spaceship
the Black Drone (attaches to the ship)
The Menace buggy truck
In total there are 870 pcs which would make a price tag of 65 to 75 USD, if it becomes a set.

The Duvaucelii Tactical Superiority Fighter is the result of a desperate need for a tougher, lighter, and more powerful fighter to combat the recent pirate and smuggler attacks all around Coalition Space, when teamed with an Ascension, these unorthodox fighters really pack a punch.
Although seemingly lightly armed, the Duvaucelii carries a high-impact rail-mounted cannon, as well as a slug-gauss gun, hidden inderneath the fore armor. The combination of speed, power, and maneuverability make this craft truly a force to reckon with.
Hey, I built something. Horay!
Built in about 6 hours of total work, 4 on one day, 2 on the next.
