Great work, Jon!

My favorite remains the i-fighter, though. :)

For what it's worth, I wasn't reminded of the Starfury. Of course, all
winged one or two person spaceships based on jet planes look *somewhat*
similar. ;) But it's the small differences that count, no?

And I have to say, when I first saw Babylon 5, I thought the design totally
ripped off the X-wing. So it's only fair that things come full circle, hehe...

Thanks man.  But I gotta say, although I'm not really into Bab 5 I do know
what the Starfury looks like and I don't think this looks anything like it.
I mean maybe it slightly recalls the shape from the front, looking down, but
the layout of the wings is totally different.  It's funny because you're
like the 4th person to mention this and I don't see it at all.

Maybe I need to build a Starfury now ;-)

Actually.  I can tell you that the similarity stems from the shape of the
cockpit and how the engines are positioned at the tips of the two wings that
are swept upwards.  Those two features are found only on the Starfury.  I
think that is why so many, including myself, are reminded of the Starfury
when we look at your K-wing.
