This little anime looking fighter started off as a hoverbike, and it grew,
and grew, and more extensions, and more extensions... The F/A-113 "Mosquito"
is 34 studs long, 8+ studs wide (due to SNOT configuration, uneven), and it
is about 9 bricks high. Armed with two PPG cannons fed from the main
engines, two Y.E.L.O.W.J.C.K.T. Missiles, and two Sidewinder Mark VII
missiles. I like the tri-cockpit idea I cam up with, quite interesting. I
might LDRAW this model. I think I xausted my supply of black 1x2 hinge
bricks and 1x2/4 hinge plates on this.

Rick,

That's a neat little compact fighter, I can see it fulfilling a Harrier like
role, places where you can't support a large fighter.

That's pretty cool, Rick. You gonna have a squadron of them ready for
Confusion?  :-)

Amy

Granted it is a neat fighter, I exaushted my supply of stub wings for
aerilons on that thing. Wheather or not it sticks around for ConFusion is
open to debate. When I get about 5 more A-Wings, which seems feasible soon,
I am going to make a squadron of fighters. Granted, can someone build a
hanger for them? I will be using building bricks for GATS and special parts
on vehicles for ConFusion. I really need to build a cheap easy to build
fighter...
