I received the Revell X-Wing kit today. It was the last one a local shop had, so I had to pick it up. It's a 1/30(ish) scale and the box says "easy kit"... heh.
This thing will be anything but easy.
I'm going to take a good long look at it and figure out what I want to do with it in terms of build and detail. But off the top of my bald head:
lights everywhere... engines, cockpit, R2... I'm going to go nuts with this one... several circuit boards will be made and I'm thinking a proximity sensor to turn it on and off.
removal of any details that are wrong
addition of more accurate details
wing armature (possibly motorized)
completely repaint
maybe a pilot, maybe not... one's included, but dunno
I know this GB doesn't kick off until 2015, so I'll just take a good look at it to get the ideas flowing and put it in the back of the stash closet until it's time. Good thing is that until the GB starts, I have a pretty full plate of projects that will keep me occupied and off the X-Wing.
