Re: Revell U-wing
Ok, here are the lines I filled and new ones I scribed. The blue lines are the newly scribed lines, and the red are the lines already on the kit that I filled. I had never scribed panel lines before, so I was nervous. However, it actually wasn't too bad at all.

Re: Revell U-wing
I'm really starting to like this vehicle...... 
Can't wait to see more.......
Just curious...does anyone know how many troops it will hold?

Damn that looks fantastic. I guess I have some work cut out for me. What did you use for references?

I'm pretty sure all of those interior shots where Jyn says "May the Force be with you", and where Bistan is shooting the gun are all inside this vehicle. I would guess 16 troops.sci-fi-bldr wrote:I'm really starting to like this vehicle......

I'm thinking more like 12 plus pilot/co-pilot. If that even...Unreality wrote:I would guess 16 troops.

If I was unsure of details, I would check the Hasbro U-Wing to see if they matched up. If they did, I was fairly certain it was accurate. This kit will never be 100% accurate, so I just got it as far as I could...

Re: Revell U-wing
The Hasboro one actually looks pretty good apart from the way oversized cockpit which only barely holds one 3/4" figure
I wonder what scale that works out to? maybe 1/48? Might be worth modding one

If you have a tool and aren't aware of what it can do, its dangerous. A jedi can do amazing things with a lightsaber. A roomful of chimps with lightsabers... would get messy.

Re: Revell U-wing
The Hasbro wings are also way too short.
Re: Revell U-wing
Yeah, and doesn't this one have that ridiculous NERF blaster on the underside. Ugh. Might as well recast the whole thing at that point.

Re: Revell U-wing
This looks like a great kit to modify into a bounty hunter's ship- that underslung compartment would be perfect for shackled prisoners, a speeder bike and maybe a jukebox...
I actually think the vertical wings from the V-Wing would work here: they move, so they could sit where the U-Wing's extended wings and engines meet- giving more atmospheric control and folding horizontal for landing.
Like the best SW designs, this inspires variants!
