I hope they don't hire you, it's still the wrong color.

If they hired me, I'd have access to the colours I'd need. I don't have that much grey though. Because they haven't hired me.

Feh. As far as landing gear go, frankly legs like the front landing leg of the original 1999 set would look the most accurate (though it'd be good to replace the 1x1 cylinder bricks with telescope pieces if possible). You'd have to detach them for flight, but at this scale there's just no way to do vertically-retracting landing legs.

Agreed. Unfortunately, some details just have to be altered. Heck, on the real X-Wings, the rear landing gear comes down from the lower engines. The new Lego model doesn't even have rear landing gear at all. ...I don't think there are any Lego parts that telescope like that.

Ahh yes, I see what you mean. ..Although, with the nose built the way it is, using the hinge bricks to narrow at the front, there isn't much of a place to attach it. ...It might be doable, but I kinda prefer the fold-up gear to the removable gear, even if it's less movie-accurate.

Well, each to their own. In any case, I prefer the original 1999 set. The tapering fuselage thing doesn't work as well in LEGO for the X-Wing as it does for the ARC-170

I can see what you mean. Though it's worth pointing out that the newest X-Wing has it taper off from 4 to 3 studs wide, rather that from 4 to 2 like on this one, and it looks a lot better. Have you seen my modified version of the 1999 set? fav.me/d1ye0o3

You made a pretty nice reason for the Lego SW designers to hire you.
