It’s hard to catch when you’re watching the movie even if you pause. I built that model when it first came out but in ANH configuration. I went nuts and built the computer Luke didn’t use, coiled cord and all. Hard to see but it got compliments. That was back when my eyes were good enough for that kind of work…

@@markfergerson2145 Yup. I still remember getting my first MPC X-Wing model. It was a lifetime ago, but it all came back crystal clear as soon as I saw you cut the parts off the sprue.

Seeing the Prop Store auction listing in 2016 (I think it sold for $90k) gave me the motivation to build the MPC kit I purchased about 30 years ago. I can now say I have a "studio scale" model in my collection. I used the kit decals, so it is Red 5, but the paint and distressing does not follow any screen-used models. The ship doesn't look "new", but it's nowhere near as beat up as the one from the auction listing. I printed a resin R2 to replace the kit-provided astromech.

Nice. I really enjoyed the project...I'm sure I'll do more in the future.

I have the actual MPC kit from the 70s that I’ve been sitting on and literally like 2 months ago I said I was gonna do this exact project! Looks great and now I have motivation to actually do it

Looks really cool. I like the Glamour shots shots at the end. I'm working on a Space 1999 Eagle. I decided to build it with the orange VIP pod, so it's a little bit different than the standard Eagle. I'll send you a couple of pics when I get It finished.

Thanks! I look forward to seeing the pics.

Nice! I've been thinking of getting one of the 1/48th fine molds X wing...

@EagleSciFiModeler Ай бұрын

I've built one of those before, I thought it was a very nice kit.

Nice work, I didn't know they used this model in the ESB, great build, well done!

You could have put a light in the cockpit to add a little more realism! Great job 👍

@EagleSciFiModeler Ай бұрын

Thanks! I decided to keep the cockpit more like the prop...it was easier...lol

@@EagleSciFiModeler I used to build X-wing's back in the 80's for shop's like Forbidden planet! Ended up having to build loads and the fun went out of it 😔 watching your build brought back the memories of the fun build's so thanks for uploading 😁😎
