This is another older MOC which underwent a major remodelling last year,

Crazy? Crazy like a fox.
I hadn’t seen this one before, other than that one photo that was posted a few
weeks ago, so I won’t compare it. All I know is this is a superb model. Who
cares if the fighter pilots are trapped in their cockpits, the sheer number of
them more than makes up for it (and your explanation makes sense). I can imagine
these things detaching together and swarming all over some unfortunate foe.
I like how you keep your ideas grounded in some sort of conceivable technology -
big engines, cramped internal spaces etc, although I am a bit concerned about
how all the fighters survive re-entry into atmoshpere.

The structural component I’m most happy about is the landing gear, which is
very sturdy. Actually it’s all very sturdy - you can pick the whole thing
up by the front section... and the landing gear clicks in and out nicely with
the help of Technic shocks. I’ll post a pic of a structural mock-up later...
there wasn’t an easy way to partially dismantle the ship to show it directly.

mmmm... landing gear. I look forward to seeing how you did it. Not to mention
the promised pictures of a fighter.

I’ve included some builders notes to explain some features, but feel free to
ask more questions.

here’s one: Can I have it?
