Hello fellow Macross fans,
For those who play the X-Plane flight simulator, I thought I'd share the Fanracer aircraft I built for X-Plane. I've been a Macross fan since it first aired and Hikaru's Fanracer has always been my favorite.
The flight model is built in X-Plane's built-in "plane maker" tool, but the 3D model is built with Blender (an open source 3D modeler). Although not 100% complete, the cockpit is loosely based on the line-art but I took some liberties on some design elements for functionality and personal preference. The aircraft is free to download in the link below.

Enjoy, feedback is welcome.
Thanks,
