Volkite
Volkite is my first "vertical" starfighter.
I found much inspiration in the lines of this terrific concept from Theunis Dijkman, before I changed scale and took things my own way. It was a blast to design, and I enjoyed using new parts to solve some key geometry.

Lightning Construction Video (full walk-through video is here)
Construction Video
There are construction videos with commentary on YouTube: The one at https://youtu.be/oVmgeXfvf4o walks through final assembly and is probably easiest to watch. The one at https://youtu.be/phT-WCFMffw goes through everything step-by-step.
The music in this lightning-speed cut is from Raiden, as composed by Go Sato.
