"Yes, you’re seeing that correctly. That is the cockpit pod of a TIE Fighter with some X-Wing foils strapped around it. Really, it makes sense for a fleet of pirate ships.
In the run up to The Force Awakens, there’s tons of ship parts and scrap around from the fall of the Empire and the New Republic’s rise to prominence. Why wouldn’t smugglers and pirates re purpose those into new ship-worthy vessels? It might look hilarious to us, but it makes a good deal of sense in-universe."

This is my first attempt at a Star wars "replica", It is not exactly canon and I took my inspiration from the article and image listed above.

Take off in air!

You can have it on the ground, but it will not take off from the ground..

Pitch, roll, and trim are your controls for flight.

• Trim down pulls in the wings which make the roll slower the lower the wings go, until all the way down in which you will have next to nothing in the way of roll.
• AG1 initiates the afterburner.
• Ample guns! and two interceptors: use air-to-air to lock on and then press AG2 or AG3 to launch. Only two shots.
