VERY NIIIICE!!  :^D  YEAH!  I like how you found a use for those bionicle
heads!  (I'm right, aern't I?  Those are bionicle heads that the guns are
attached to, right?)

I think you have captured the essence of most of the cool features of
conventional fighters today!

And the over-top air intakes are excellent for an endo-ecto atmospheric
space fighter!  VERY COOL DESIGN!  I'd love to see how you got the wings to
work and stay put in each position.

The Shrike Interceptor is built for high speed and maneuverability.  The wings
sweep to three different positions: when straight out, they provide the most
lift for takeoff and landing; when swept forward, they increase
maneuverability at sub-mach speeds for dogfight situations; and when
swept back, the jet can reach its top speed for those long hauls.  The landing
gear completely retracts, and the cockpit and the storage compartment behind it
swing open.  Since my website isn't quite ready (and I already exceeded my disk
quota), here's the Brickshelf gallery:
