Description LOCK S-FOILS IN ATTACK POSITION! The Incom T-65 X-wing space superiority star fighter is one legendary craft. The fighter that brought down the first death star and the fighter of choice for the famous rogue squadron. It featured great agility, durability and range (do to its own hyperdrive) featuring four wing mounted KX9 laser cannons and dual launch tubes for proton torpedoes, the t-65 is nothing to mess with. Along with its high speed and maneuverability it has its own deflector shields and bay for an R2 astromech droid. After the empire fell it continued to be service even after being replaced by the Incom T-70 x-wing.



Here is my finished Bandai 1/72 x-wing fighter. Built primary "outta the box"(with the exception of decals) I had already built a red 5(the kit and Luke’s wing) so I painted this one in a few different greens/browns, with the thinking it might be a post war, trainer or militia unit. This was a really fun and great model to work on. Overall it features loads of cool gimmicks and detail. It was a pretty easy build (not in a bad way though) and other than a few minor mistakes/gripes I am pretty happy with how it came out. At some point I’ll have to get some shots of it in battle with my TIE (as the bases connect together too)

as always questions, comments and suggestions welcome.

Very Kewl!!! I like the non-canon colors! Almost makes it a kitbash looking kit. The details in this kit show well, and surprise me for a model of this scale. Good Work!

I should remember to tell you that I like how you chose the R5 unit instead of the R2. The R5 just has more of an economy feel to it, adding to the idea that the Rebellion is strapped for cash.

enc86 In reply to Defibulator [2015-07-01 17:36:42 +0000 UTC]

yea i figured a r2 would be too recognizable and really wanted this one to look like it was part of some rag tag group. thanks buddy!

Which reminds me: you should play the X-wing miniatures board game. It's freakin' great. 2 X-wings with 2 A-wings are damn near unstoppable.

Defibulator In reply to enc86 [2015-07-04 00:50:39 +0000 UTC]

The main problem with the game is that it's expensive (with all of the expansion packs that you will require). You can easily bury $200 into the game, but it is worth it. I have never had so much fun playing a board game before. Even if you hate Star Wars, you will enjoy the game.

yea i know its $$$$ that was the reason why i haven't got into it. maybe once my kids are a bit older i can justified it XD

Yeah, I'm not going to pressure you. If you do go to a board game night or something and someone else is playing it, I would say give it a try, because it is just such a great game.

These colors are fantastic, plus you just can't beat the design of an X-Wing.  No other spacecraft/fighter looks anything like it!

It does look like something that was cobbled together on the swamps of Dagobah. A real survivor.

thanks a tonnage. sometimes the photos are the hardest stage of a build for me.

years back i did make a standard red 5, so i really wanted something different but looked like it could fit the mythos.
