Kugai, this is a resin kit from JPG Castings that I got from starship modelers. It was really well casted, the only thing was the end of the laser canons were warped. I ended up cutting the tips off and replacing them with 18ga hypodermic needles. It also came with three vac formed canopies, which I ended up using. Still have a hard time with those canopies. Thanks for looking in.
Eagle90, I'm glad you like it, I appreciate th comments.

Years ago I mocked up a space fighter design that started with chopping the back half off from a Northrop F-5A. At first glance, it reminded me of that. Neat lines.

That's really gorgeous.

Showing my ignorance of most thing Star Wars tech--is that a movie design, or something you've done on you're own?

I think the "Dark Empire" comics were the first appearance of the E-Wing.

Great job on that fighter!  I've seen a few different depictions of the design, and that is a good one.  Is that a kit, scratch, or bash?

Hi Gregbale, I'm really glad you like it. This has not been in the movies, yet. I hope it will make it into the new ones and I cannot take credit for any of the design. It's from the expanded universe ie: games, books and other areas. After building it though I feel it is one of the better ships that are out there. Thanks for taking a look.

Posted by NucMedTech on Saturday, October 19, 2013 9:40 AM

Decades after the fall of the Emperor, the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Imperial Remnant contained in a small quadrant of the Galaxy. Now with the Yuzong Vong war over the New Republic seeks to establish law and order to all corners of the galaxy. With this task in hand they begin setting up garrisons and outposts on remote planets in the outer rim. One such planet, the dessert world of Tattoine, prepares to receive their troops and equipment. Gathering up both old and relatively new vehicles the 56th garrison begins to come together.  Flying in first is Cpt. Skyla Giddons with a wing of well used E-Wings. Commander Roddy Lightner will be arriving In a few weeks with ground support troops, T-47 Armored landspeeders and a few old and refurbished AT-STs. There goal to end the Hutts strangle hold in this sector.

So here is the E-Wing:

With the arrival of Skyla the legend of the Womprats is sure to begin.
