I've seen people point out the similarities between the Star Wars fighters and real world planes before, but I've never seen this comparison. I saw an old British Vampire flying above today, and later when I got home I happened to notice that my M3-A bared a distinct resemblence.

look up the "dunelizard"! its the scyk with a nose cone, and almost exactly shaped like the vampire. its my vote for next scum fighter

Uh uh, no way, how many SWG ships did we have to endure until the coming of the GUNBOAT? Even the TIE Aggressor became reality after a parade of scummies.

To the OP:

Agreed. And I think the Kirhaxz looks a bit like an Me 262.

I would like the Dunelizard.

And I have become OK with the TIE Avenger as the next TIE variant. Kinda looks like the lovechild of a TIE Advanced that mated with a TIE Striker.

I'm all for FFG bringing us the Dehavilland Vampire in all of its glory. Looks more sci/fi than the upcoming Scum release.

Because it's the best source of Scum starfighters in Star Wars.

I think we should get an Ixiyen/Rihkxyrk before we get the 2nd Scyk chassis ship, but yes, we should get the Dunelizard eventually.

M3-A reminds me of the Gungan submersible, actually.

wrong, scummies only deserve old RPG line drawings of this kind of crap.

and R-41 Starchasers because those are cool.

Yes they are.

But I enjoy the specific design personalities that they SWG ships give to both the Hutts and the Black Sun.

Now that I know the Vaksai isn't getting it's own model, I'm actually kinda pissed that the Kihraxz got the appearance that it got. I was okay with it when I thought we'd eventually get the Vaksai with the much cooler look , because they'd look different, but then we didn't, so now we're stuck with our Kihraxz having the crappy look.

Nobody's seeing a Cloakshape in that tail co figuration?

The Scyk is a backwards Protectorate. Or backwards ETA.

Now there's a neat ship. I would love for these to come to some faction in the future. Hopefully rebels, but scum makes more sense.
