<h1>Starfighter 14145Y B</h1>

<p>This was my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/sci-lug/discuss/72157612015205997/72157612585852088/">entry</a> into the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/sci-lug/discuss/72157612015205997/">SCI-LUG 2nd Contest: Small Starfighter Build</a> on flickr.  The idea was to build a starfighter that would fit inside a box 14 studs by 14 studs by 5 bricks tall.  There have been a huge number of entries; the judges are going to have a time of it.</p>

<p>The 14145Y-B was widely maligned by carrier crews for scraping the paint off the ceilings of the carrier hangar bays. Pilots of smaller craft despised the "yella-jacket" for the scratches it inflicted on their craft when in an adjacent bay.</p>
<p>But with high maneuverability due to its dual-engine design, and more than double the firepower of most carrier-launched starfighters, the pilots of the 14145Y-B loved the starfighter dearly. On the carrier HMS Grimace, it is said that the pilots chose to repaint the hangar ceilings -- and pay the expense of the paint -- rather than relinquish their precious fighters. After the decisive battle of Urasthmis in which the HMS Grimace lost every starfighter except the 14145Y-Bs, the hangar crews chose to sandblast the paint off the ceiling once and for all.</p>

<p>Here for posterity are the instructions on how to build my little starfigher.</p>
