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

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.
