F-87 Instigator

21 comments
F-87 instigator is a futuristic fighter jet that packs an elegant punch. It combines high visual discernibility with extremely low radar visibility, through its rader-wave absorbing nose geometry. There is no need for camouflage, since by the time you see it, you're already in trouble. Its twin-engine design with thrust-vectoring requires very few control surfaces, save the stealth-enhancing 'ruddervators' that bend over the engines. Combined with the lift fan that is centrally embedded in the fuselage, the swivelling nozzles produce enough lift in order for the plane to have full VTOL capability (Vertical Take-Off and Landing). This means the plane can land on a tiny improvised air strip. Especially since it is only 30 cms in length:)

The Lego model contains about 350 bricks. Aside from some as-yet unavailable model/color combinations, it can, and has been, built. The design includes a custom stand that has a tilted platform with a giant stud on it. This stud neatly fits into the bottom of the lift fan housing, allowing the entire plane to be rotated 360 degrees around the stand.
