The latest LEGO spaceship by Theo Bonner is exactly the kind of build that instantly feels familiar. I paused to figure out why—and the answer was right there in the build’s description. Not only is it a Star Wars fighter (specifically from the Teal Squadron), but it’s also inspired by WWII airplanes! And then it hit me: the shape, the proportions (just look at that massive “nose” in front of the cockpit), the engines—it all makes sense.

But it’s the front that steals the show. The intricate, multi-layered design around the engines instantly sells the concept. At this point, the only way to improve it would be some weathering—maybe a few oil stains and a touch of paint chipping for that battle-worn look.
