[MOC] - Rebel Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter (1/32 scale)

[Max_Lego]

Edit - replaced low quality photos and ugly background with appropriate ones.

This is, probably, my best Star Wars MOC - the legendary X-wing in 1/32 scale! Initially I wanted just a MOD of the 75218, but after acquiring it I realised that only a hardcore MOC would satisfy me. So here it is:

Cockpit interior views:

Bottom view with extracted landing gear:

Bottom view with retracted landing gear:

And, finally, a view with s-foils locked in attack position. Special thanks to @Jerac for the mechanism idea and overall inspiration!

I hope you liked my MOC, despite the low quality of the photos...

Nice one! I especially like the cockpit and the landing gear.

Yeah, the cockpit looks really good!

Thank you, @m4st3rt3ch and @Yperio_Bricks! But, sadly, the cockpit interior isn't accurate enough (especially the instrument panel)...

My favourite part of this is actually the cockpit interior, looks really good

Cool cool cool. Love the cockpit and excellent landing gear design. You can only do so much at this scale, nevertheless very accurate.

Thank you very much!

The fat underbelly of the original model didn't satisfy me because of its inaccuracy - so I redesigned it. It may not look as good as it used to, but at least it's more faithful to the original.

The MOC's rear was also redesigned:

Hope it's better now!

Sorry for replying so late - thanks, but, again, I don't think it's the best part of my build, since it's not really accurate. Nevertheless, I tried my best

Redesigned the X-wing again!

Wasn't fond of the cockpit interior - reworked it with black tubes/cables behind (black official Lego rubber band) and more displays. The targeting computer scope is retracted:

The spacecraft's belly was another problem I solved. It looks much better now:

Seems like I can improve my MOCs endlessly...
