Wow, was this ever a challenge. Months of design, development, and prototyping. $400 worth of molds. $200+ in master parts. My biggest and heaviest vehicle kit thus far. Approximately 26" tall with wings deployed and 14" wide. Weighs in at around 5 lbs.

- Canopy includes clear plastic windows and is removable for one standing pilot inside.
- Removable roof panel allows access to rear passenger seat.
- Wings pivot open and closed and held in place with internal spring mechanisms.
- Cannons can sweep about 45 degrees (depending how you attach them)
- Includes stand configurable to sit low or high depending whether wings are open or closed.
- There is room to hold a battery inside if you want to add LEDs (you can see I added some to mine in the video)

Introducing my first all original vehicle kit. Simply called "starfighter", this small compact ship performs well in both space and atmosphere. Great for when you want a squadron but have limited space. Get the kit here http://www.holeinthegroundpro.com/dioramas.html

Nice! Didn't know this design before, but it reminds me of a spacecraft I built with LEGO bricks as a kid. It fits nicely into the Star Wars universe.

LOL  That's crazy. I built a completely custom spaceship outta Legos back in the late 1990s and this design was very very loosely based on it!  Although the lego one was not much smaller, that was a two seater. Obviously the mini fig shape doesn't require the same type of space to fit them. It would be like cutting the figure off at the knees.

I really like that design a lot. It totally works as a "generic" starfighter and could easily fit into a pirate fleet or planetary defense force.

PS - I love the blue police box!
