Blacktron X-87 | 40580 Alt-Build

Hyperspace capable.
  Perfectly balanced.
    The last thing you'll see...
          BLACKTRON X-87

#buildlikemad

Blacktron's top secret development program, the X-project, has silently been working on a hyperspace-capable, single-seat fighter.

Code-named X-87 in honour of the year the Invader was developed, this modern alt-build of its successor, the 40580 Cruiser, is perfectly balanced for high-speed manoeuvres and will easily outrun and ambush anything else out there!

The Blacktron logo behind the pilot will be the last thing you see as the X-87 blasts out of the darkness to finish you...!

The front section of the design is built around the shape of the cockpit canopy using a unique combination of wedge plates to snugly circumscribe its outline and protect the pilot who sits low and close to the centre of gravity.

The rear is built with a combination of insane angles and SNOT techniques to give the X-87 its unique profile.

This is an fairly advanced build for a relatively small craft but then again, this is Blacktron's top secret X-project... expect nothing less!





I do my very best to create high-quality LEGO builds that surprise and wow the builder, so please feel to let me know if I can improve or make changes in any way!

Special thanks to Thomas Kiesswetter for test-piloting the X-87 prior to release.
Any mistakes remain mine.

Please share the X-87 with your favourite KFOLs and AFOLs!
