I made this sometime last year. Its was my biggest custom to date. Took a long time. If I had to do it over I would make that Jedi fighter I used as a booster platform less noticeable as a Jedi fighter somehow. But, regardless, I was happy with it.
Basically, it's a Skystriker fitted with two booster rockets to get it to near orbit, where it can deliver tactical nukes anywhere on Earth if that was necessary. Those are Rolling Thunder missiles withe the thrusters reversed and an extra set of Skystriker engines inserted. Last edited by Dusty79; 12-12-2013 at 08:48 AM.. |

That is BADASS! Love the construction and premise. That Jedi fighter-thing actually works really well here, I think.

Wow! That is really an awesome custom. Didn't Joe do something like this in one of the cartoon episodes to get to a space station where the 'Noks were zipping around in 0-G on Ferrets?

Very cool ! It reminds me of the Pyramid of Darkness mini series when they fitted the Sky Strikers with rockets up get up to the space station.

Thanks. Yes, in the cartoon the Skystrikers had one booster rocket between the tail fins to power them while in space and they got into space by being attached to a huge rocket sort of like the Apollo space mission rockets. |
