Crow-class recon starfighter

That is a reimagined version of a Crow from Winx Club animated series.

Mainly featured in season 2 of the series, with its cameo appearing in season 3 and being used once in season 8, this starfighter is operated by the Red Fountain as a light attack ship deployed from the main base and Hawk-class assault ships (these vessels carry two fighters of this type). The Crow has two sets of S-foils - upper small wings and lower weapon nacelles mounted on foldable pylons - which are also used as landing struts (in season 8 s-foils do not lock in landing position). For this purpose nacelles are equipped with lift engines. Weapon nacelles contain rapid-fire blaster cannons that can be switched to fire more destructive plasma discharges. The cockpit has been fully redone - the starfighter controls are Terran-type (found on many 4th and 5th-gen fighter planes) with touch console that displays the ship's status, navigational panel, comms and etc. Since the cockpit is isolated, pilot sees the surroundings through the canopy-wide viewscreen similar to the VR glasses. Canopy is done in accordance to season 8 - it flips upwards when opening.

Main source of inspiration for this ship is T-65 X-wing from Star Wars in terms of concept and role, and, for me, RZ-1 A-wing in terms of size and maneuverability. It's a bit similar to Vipers from Battlestar Galactica in terms of method of launch (through launch tubes).

The design you see here is part of my concept work based on the Winx Club dedicated to expand lore and fix mistakes of the original. Crow-class fighter is an old model in service since before the fall of Domino, but the fighter proved to be durable and easy in maintenance, allowing it to remain in active service up to the modern days of the concept (and beyond).

Yeah, I know, the ship doesn't look as the same as in the series. Frankly said, I've never had intention of creating the exact copy of the ship - at least something similar.
