Red UX18 Class Starfighter

This is a recent rebuild of an old starship I put together about a decade ago out of an old LEGO Creators set (4985) as well as from some other bricks from my big box of LEGO. My inspiration came through my childhood of collecting and building LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Exo-Force sets. The final result of my creation is something I really enjoy as it is a reminder of being a kid.

I wanted the design of the ship to look as if it were meant to be a sleek, aerodynamic, ultra-fast ship that was able to outrun almost any other ship in the galaxy and at the same time be sturdy enough to play with. Even with all the detail, it should be relatively cheap costing under $50 (USD), this means people are able to buy multiple to build up an entire squadron if they want.

• It features an opening cockpit with space for a mini-figure. Cockpit includes two handles that are used for steering the ship
• 4 folding side panels (two on each side) that regulate wind flow through the two big engines on either side of the ship
• A mini-figure with a helmet + helmet accessory
• Vehicle height 6cm (4cm if not including rudder height), length 23.3cm, width 12cm

I hope you support my idea!!!
