Z-1800 Phaeton
Z-1800 Phaeton from Halo 5. I don't actually have Halo 5 so this was actually based off of the Mega Bloks model I have of the Phaeton. It isn't perfect, And the proportions and scale are just a tad off. But I think Idid pretty well.
AG 1 arms the big side guns.
AG 2 arms the front guns.
AG 8 turns off the lights if you wish to do so.
VTOL Up activates the forward thruster.
The hovering point of this craft is about 24. It starts taking off at around 25.
Keep in mind that this generates no lift due to wings. It is a vertical craft, Not a plane. If you flip it it will sink like a rock.
It also has some serious limits to mobility just due to the fact that the Phaeton's movement can't really be done in SP.
I hope you enjoy this, Constructive criticism is welcomed.

@Dryym we don't really get to try the LongSword or the Seraph in any game as long as I know.
@Dryym AMAZING work it is simple but catches eyes. It is moble friendly so everyone can injoy and it is from HALO :D which I truly love. Keep this work up and have an amazing day.
Cool!
@cobalT If you mean the forward thrust engine, I could. Phaetons served a role similar to the AH-64 Apache, So it would be reasonable for them to move faster.
However, I am not sure how practical it would be for SP just due to the fact that you can barely turn it as is. You would kind of have to meticulously line yourself up with your destination and then VTOL up.
I also think the forward thrust engine lines up just barely below the COM which could quite possibly flip the craft if Iset the power too hhigh
@cobalT I decreased it to .25 to connect it, Then Inudged them into the body so you can't see them at all.
I am glad you like it. It was really fun to make and the unique shape forced me to use some rather unorthodox building methods.
I just wish it was possible to make it fly better.
Good replica!
No model is 100 percent accurate. This one looks really good though.
@spefyjerbf If this makes your planes look bad in comparison then Imust have seriously underestimated this Phaeton.
If it is any consolation, This is nowhere near perfect due to the fact that the proportions are a bit off, And it is really hard to fly well.
In addition, The guns are derpy because you can't edit rocket pods the same way as you can other guns so Ihad to improvise
@cobalT Do you mean the floating bits? If so, They are actually floating. There is nothing in between the body and the floating bits. What I actually did was make them be connected by a .25 width fuselage, Then I used the fine tuning mod to nudge the supports into the body.
It looks a lot better that way IMO.
Stunning. Just wow. You make my builds look bad in comparison.
@Dryym :D
@Himynameiswalrus Edit: Nvm I found the follow button
I am eventually going to finish my 1:1 scale Seraph that i was having problems with. Fun fact A Seraph is as big as an SR-71.
@Dryym I'm gonna follow you!
@Himynameiswalrus Thank you! As far as I can tell, This is pretty close to being 1:1 scale, But there are no measurements that I could find.
@Dryym lol it is! This is great!
@Himynameiswalrus I am going to hope that is a good wow. XD
Wow!
Oh snap! Phaeton!!!
