Thanks for the feedback so far. I kicked around the concept and dropped the heavier engines, although I liked them. Logistically, it seems like the fighter would go for about six minutes and then run out of fuel. I scaled them back to something reasonable.

I envisioned the inside to be packed with a fair amount of ammunition for the nose guns, quite a bit of fuel, and a power plant to convert the fuel into ionized hydrogen exhaust. The wings will swivel like the Star Wars Imperial shuttle for landing but will act more like the Klingon Bird of Prey wings during flight. This is an in-system fighter, although for the project I'm planning on using this for it needs to be able to go to the edge of a solar system and back.

Sorry, Taranis, but for the moment, this model will be held. I release a lot of my models but this one will be locked down for a while.

Here's the current status.
