Arwing MK-5

[kapteenipirk]

So, i got myself a copy of Star Fox Zero. Let's just say that i really, REALLY liked the game .

And yes, i have played Star Fox 64 from start to finish about 30 times (N64 and emulator) and Fox mc Cloud is probably my second favorite video-game character ever (don't worry, it is but a coincidence).

In the honor of this, i made myself an Arwing.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to put infinite fuel on to fly this thing.

The fuselage of this one i based on the N64/Star Fox Zero version of the Arwing, but the wings and G-diffusers are custom.

It was not an easy task to try and replicate the craft in Kerbal scale, since everything felt a little too big to fit properly.

But, i think i did a pretty good job at replicating it. You be the judge of that.

Alright, lets check our G-diffusers and let's rock and roll, and maby do some barre........ehm aileron rolls on the way.

I guess we can safely say that the Arwing is quite durable and safe.

NOTE: this thing needs to get to the end of the runway to takeoff. Don't do it in full speed tough, or you will hit the deck.

Top speed: a little over Mach-1 in low altitude.

Stall speed: 40 m/s

Length: 11.5m

Wingspan: 13.0m

Height: 3.6m

Mass: 9.64 tons

Parts: 124

The Arwing is very solid and stable with SAS on and reasonably stable without SAS. It's also very manouverable and should give you a very smooth ride.

 

And no, before you ask, i'm not going to make any of the other ships from Star Fox. I did think about maby making the Great Fox, but it would just be insane  trying to make that in the same scale as the Arwing (it would have to be almost 200m long and let's not even talk about the part count of that thing).

 

And there you have it, the Arwing MK-5. I hope you enjoy it .
