Star Wars Ralph McQuarrie 1:72 Conceptual X-wing resin kit

Way cool, is it a sort of one off, or are there more available? How much was it?

Geof

I saw he's got a couple on there now. Just search "concept x wing" It was under $60 w/ shipping. I first saw this kit a couple months ago. It was thea only kit of it I had ever seen, I was going to bid on it but the bid went high and I balked. Now more kits are on there so I just BINed it and said screw it I want it!

Double post Oops

Nice, it reminds me of the fuselage of a Japanese Zero backwards with the tail planes removed.

For a quick background, which would assist in making the details of the kit stand out, try using a piece of blue poster board (available at Walmart for a buck or two) or just use a pillow case of a lighter color (white or light blue) without any designs.

I use a poster board I acquired from one of my kids after they used it for a school project. One side was dark blue, the other light blue. I just prop it up against the edge of a dining room chair as it is pushed up to the table. Place the kit on the board as it curves in a semi 90 degree angle. I often use a book or something to hold it in place for the minute or two it takes to snap a picture.

Cool Kit.

Saw the design in comics prior to Star Wars release.

I wish that guy luck in selling the kit..

Hopefully, he doesn't need to pay royalties.

He may not be selling long before lawyers get involved.

Some years ago a friend witnessed someone confiscating resin garage kits from dealer tables at a Sci-Fi show- all while loudly announcing anyone interfering would be arrested.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing the complete, painted kit.

Looks great so far!

Thanks for posting the photos.

Very nice kit.. Hope I have a chance to get one before the legal BS starts up ( Lucas is infamous for such things ).

On the down side, it was just announced that McQuarrie passed away yesterday.  A great concept artist whose work should always be remembered.

I remember this ship from my signed set of  lithos from star wars, infact I have a set of litho's from all 3 original sw movies.

Lucky you. I love the look of this kit--this design has kinda been mirrored in canon, appearing as a split wing Z-95 in the Rogue Squadron comics.
