Well I seem to have found a new fad (after some prodding by Mladen). This
fighter is the major aeroplane for the ‘good guys’ in the final battle of the
film.
It’s far from perfect and I’ve already started making some suggested changes
but at the moment I’m a bit sick of the sight of it so I’m putting it out
there regardless. The body wheels can retract but the wing wheels are
removable.

That is a difficult plane to model, so I give you kudos for just attempting it.
Despite a couple inaccuracies, I think this is a really good start. The engine
and the main wings are superb. The main body could use a bit more trimming and
perhaps a few curved slope pieces to smoothly transition it into the wings. The
canards have got to go though. I’ve never been a fan of brick-thick wings, even
if they are studless. I don’t see why you can’t just replace them with 1x4 wing
plates. I also think maybe you shouldn’t bother with the retractable landing
gear. Try building the plane without it, and then try to add it in afterwards.
Don’t let it sacrifice the overall form.
Anyways, I’m happy you’ve taken up WoH as your “new fad”. It’s a challenge that
you’ve got the skills to take up.

| (...) Hi Mladen, I pretty much agree with everything you say here. The canards are studs out mainly because the area they attach to is (neccesarily) studs out and there is a fairly limited selection of snot bricks in dark red. Along with other (...)
