That's a great concept!  I like what you've done so far quite a bit.  The
D-wing has a pretty innovative shape (and is that light blue highlights on
it?).  I love the greeblie sections on the F-wing, especially that cutout
notch on the nose of the craft, and the G-wing has an awesome shape.
Where'd that canopy come from?

I decided to make a fighter for every unused letter in the alphabet.  A
total of 18 fighters.  In addition to the 4 fighters (x,y,a,b) in the
movies, I'm not going to build e,k,t or v.  These appear here and there
throughout the SW books, comics and games.  I might even be missing another
letter.

I've finished the first 4.

I'm trying to make many of these look like the letter but a few of them
(like the b-wing) won't look like their letter at all.  I've been trying to
build them to scale with the Star Wars Lego sets.

I should have the next batch done in about a week.

Tell me what you think!

Thanks Adrian.  That is light blue (or medium blue) on the D-wing.  The
parts came from a few copies of 4579 and one 7310.

That cutout notch is mostly there because I couldn't find a 6th curvy slope
2 x4 thingy.  (Not the real name of this part ;-)  So I decided to make the
most of it.

The Canopy is the egg-shell from a Duplo egg.  At last.  I have my Duplo
eggs.  Let the weirdness begin.
