SAF-4 Vulture Fighter
I had some spare windscreens, but not enough parts to build another Warhog, so I thought "Hmm... Might be a good time to build a new fighter?" So, there...
She is VTOL capable, and armed with a pair of guns and a set of missiles.
Sorry for the limited/blurry pics, still using my camera phone, and half the pic's I took were no good, so I will have to add more later. The fighter is still a little rough, I have to do more detailing on her before I build another one.

Looks cool, very Republic Gunship-esque. I don't think it would make a very good fighter, though. It looks like it would be pretty slow, which would be a huge problem in a dogfight.

First off, I think it goes without saying that you have the best cockpit designs on the whole damn forum. So moving on...
My first impression I got from this thing was that it looked like a gray banshee. I was wrong-it is clearly a mega gray banshee with room for more than one person.
The only thing I'm curious about is it's armament, as it doesn't appear to have a lot of obvious weapon ports. I'm sure they're there, but I think it would be cool if you could point them out to us.

As if we care. More explosives!

Yeah the windscreen design isn't very sleek, so it's overall a clunky lug of a fighter, but the entire back end is the engine. Figured, with enough thrust, you can even make a fighter out of a boulder....
The weapons are mounted to the fuselage right under where the wing connects. You can see the missile in the back there, it kind of blends in...

I agree it looks mor elike a ground attack to me too. But I was thinking that is not a bad thing. If it was assigned to support the two Warthogs, then it would play the duel role of fighter/ground attack. IT then could give air cover while the Warthog was on the ground dropping off the mecha or troop pod etc.Theblackdog wrote: It definitely seems more like a ground attack fighter than an all-around craft though, ....
Me, I would leave it as is design wise and just beef up the dakka. Some air to ground missiles and such.
