Posted July 22, 20186 yr Hi guys, I was never pleased with the official mini U-wing, and after searching around for awhile, stumbled upon @sparkart's Midi Scale U-wing on Flickr as well as @hachiroku's version. Melding elements of both, I came up with this in between version of it! The rear section was tricky, and not the most sturdy, but fine for display and light swooshing. ;) Enjoy!

July 22, 20186 yr This is one of the best U-wings I’ve seen absolutely amazing. Are you thinking of doing a whole series?

October 23, 20186 yr Amazing, looks like the real thing! I really enjoy the midi scale and your rendition of the ship in it is perfect.
November 12, 20186 yr Hey @YodaSkate I had a crack at the U-Wing using my own pieces only - wanted to try without ordering any new pieces. I've had to substitute quite a few pieces as a result. The substitution bit was a bit of a struggle and some bits look messy as a result but I stuck to your instructions as best as I could. Excuse the yellowed pieces and poor pictures! I've added the four pictures to the album. (P.S. I can confirm 4 astromech droids were harmed in the making of this model) https://www.flickr.com/photos/150527770@N07/albums/72157701996546171 Edited November 12, 20186 yr by Spongebob456

I like some of the pieces you substituted as well, especially the cheese slope!
