LSP_Kevin Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 My wife found an AMT X-Wing kit at a second-hand shop a few years ago, and when she looked inside it, there was a complete B-Wing kit hiding in there too - box and all! Unfortunately, it had already been started - badly - and I wasn't able to fully rectify this, so I just put it together as a fun little side project. Here it is! I'm quite pleased with the way this little rebel scum turned out: I'm not sure what scale this kit is, but the size of the pilot appears to be around 1/72. I just slapped on the paint and some weathering, and called it done. I spent the most time fairing in the clear part, which is a terrible fit. Other than that, it was a lot of fun! The X-Wing is also on the bench, and ready for painting and weathering. Kev Nick32, Uncarina, Christoffer Lindelav and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnarg Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I find the B wing to be the most interesting ship from Star Wars, but Bandai and Fine Molds never kitted that one in a matching scale. This looks very nice, great recovery. Tnarg BloorwestSiR, LSP_Kevin and Christoffer Lindelav 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Nice. It's a good thing that Empire tripped can't shoot. I imagine they didn't enjoy being bounced from the port side. LSP_Kevin and BloorwestSiR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Looks great considering what you started with. Hopefully Bandai end up making one. It would be great to have a modern kit of a B-wing. Nice. It's a good thing that Empire tripped can't shoot. I imagine they didn't enjoy being bounced from the port side. The cockpit is supposed to rotate so that it stays oriented vertically and the rest of the ship moves around it. According to the technical manuals, it was just too complicated and would break down all the time leaving the pilot stuck in awkward positions.

ringleheim Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Love the B Wing and that particular kit, which really is not that bad at all. Nice job! LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0t0rdr1ver Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Cool! Nice work Kevin. They're great simple kits to get together quick, so you can get right to the fun part of painting and weathering. LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
