Posted December 27, 20159 yr Yes, it's another X-wing. I wanted to experiment with giving the T-70 full wings like the T-65, and this was the result. Not as elegant as the split wings, but I like it. It's meant to be an updated design for the Legends continuity. The T-68 X-Wing Starfighter was the successor to Incom's venerable T-65 X-Wing that saw extensive use by the Rebellion during the Galactic Civil War. The T-68 received extensive technological upgrades to bring it up to the requirements of the New Republic's elite fighter squadrons. First flown by the legendary Rogue Squadron in engagements against the Imperial Remnant, it quickly proved itself to be every bit the workhorse Incom's developers had hoped. Since it was such a basic mod, I decided to build a little diorama around it, representing a Rogue Squadron hangar. Minifigs are two ground crew members, Jaina Solo, and her wingmate Anni Capstan. The cockpit has a slot for Jaina's lightsaber or Anni's blaster. Feedback always welcome!
December 27, 20159 yr The design is really close to Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for the X-wings, your MOC is excellent.
December 27, 20159 yr I like your model, but I was never a fan of the split-engines. Glad they're not in the Legends continuity. While I've been thinking about updating 9394 into a T-65 XJA3, sadly there aren't any high-res pictures anywhere (even EGTW only has them in the background)
