Delta-7 Aethersprite [Modified]

Flickr

I saw a verison of this by another user here on Flickr, and thought the ship was too cool not to make. I tried not to look at his after I started building mine, and I hope it's different enough. Here's the Wookieepedia page:

So, any thoughts?

I nominated it for the Moc of the month in fact!

legorevolution wrote:Good call, it's definitely worthy. Hey wait a minute, where is the rest of that R2 unit upfront?!

Wookieepedia wrote:The size of the craft also would not allow for a factory model astromech droid navigator, as future starfighters such as the T-65 X-wing starfighter used. Instead, astromech droids were integrated directly into the starfighter, with only the droid's truncated heads visible
