I know of a B-Wing in preparation in 1/48 which will be impressive for sure, but not certain if it will be printed or cast in resin.

Here's one for you, Alain: https://www.gambody.com/3d-models/t-47-airspeeder I'm sure there are others, too. Kev Alain Gadbois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Hello all! Here’s a bit more progress: First, I forgot to show the two brass tube sections for the guns rear ends! They were cut with a normal metal saw then sanded to the exact lenth on a belt sander. Dropped both on the floor in the process, one rolling behind the water heater, but managed to find them in the end! Now to interior details, but not the cockpit yet! The interior of the air brakes is a bit bare… Also, fit is very loose as designed in the kit: What is needed is sheet styrene strips to narrow the gap. The collection of spare bits to detail the interior: The results of a nice Sunday afternoon of work! Thanks for watching!

Out2gtcha Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Any further progress on this one? I really do like the size of the kit, and seems like there are some good options for upgrades as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Gadbois Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 14 hours ago, John1 said: How’s this build going? Not a massive update, but here’s the progress before Christmas. I am planning more work on the Snowspeeder later this month. So, first I glued styrene rings to the brass cylinder replacements, so as to be able to glue the rear kit bit on with just Tamiya Ultra thin. Also detailed the underside of the lower control surfaces. Here’s the final look eventually… But before gluing anything, I will fit some foam bits so the control surfaces have some poseability. As is, they just float around very loosely. More foam to help hold the top control surfaces. There a bit of ajusting to do so it is not too tight for movement. Also have started to redo part of the canopy with thin clear styrene, as the kit parts are thick. But no photo yet, will have to add some to explain better! Thanks for your interest!
