New member here. Thought I would start out by showing off my Salzo V2 SS X-Wing. Some may have seen it on other forums already but I wanted to get it on here as well. This was built from the resin Salzo V2 kit and is 2 foot long. It took me just over two months to build and was my first SS kit. I chose to go with Blue Leader as there are a lot of Red 3,4, and 5's out there. Blue Leader was never filmed and was repainted to become Red 2 in the movie. The blue markings turned out black against the blue screen.
The electronics were done by me and not a store bought kit. There a 10mm Jumbo Super Bright LEDs in each engine. A single white 5mm LED supplys light to numerous strands of fiber optic in the cockpit. Tamiya clears were used for the different colors. The R2 unit is also lit by a LED and more fiber optics. Rare Earth magnets hold down the strip behind R2. This panel covers access to the battery pack and the on/off switch.
Well enough rambling from me. Enjoy the pictures.
Sorry for the blurry pic on this one. I will be doing a new set soon with a proper back drop.
