Like all of my MOCs I’ve displayed so far, this one is not finished either. Even for the convention, it wasn’t finished, but it was good enough to display. I’m planning to redo the whole thing but before I disassemble it I thought I’d show off the pictures of it up close. There are some things I’m proud of in this current design.
First, the retractable landing gear. By simply pulling or pushing the any of the rear landing gears, all three wheels will retract or come out at the same time.
I remember spending a whole evening just to get it to work and I will keep this feature when I redo this MOC.
Next, I like the angle of the wings.
BUT…. I don’t like how the hinge parts I used to get the angle right are all exposed.
I found a new way to build the wings so that all of that can be hidden, and I can properly put in the foils. I’ll also put in the proper arsenal too, right now I just have generic missiles as a placeholder.
This build still has a lot of good things going for it though. Aside from the landing gear, the plane sits the way it should if it were to land without landing gear. The rear wheels and the tail touch the ground.
What I plan to improve are the wings, the underbelly, and I’ll try harder to make it smooth all around with less studs appearing. Stay tuned for more.
