Ugly Xie-Wingceptor

[dark kyp]

Here is a new project I started.

It will be a mix between a X-Wing and a Tie interceptor! Both are AMTs kits.
I know that there is a scale difference between the two of them.
I hope I will cut enougth in the Tie in order that it is not seenable!

I am going to 3D print the inside of the cockpit in order to remove the ugly one from the kit.

Here are the first pictures:

I know the "Scale" isn't right, but most people won't notice unless you're a complete scale Star Wars geek... there are none of those on here, are there...?

Star Wars geeks? Where?

Thanks for your comments guys!

Here are the next steps!

New canopy:



New droid:



New cockpit:



Parts waiting for the next steps:



Nose modifications:



The plan for the next steps is to make take out the inside of the 3D printed cockpit to add it in the AMT hull!

I will also make something with the Tie main ball!

Stay tuned!

Hello guys, thanks for your comments!

Each fighter's color is done! Next steps: detailling!



The masking and unmasking took an eternity! I let the maskol for too long, so it has been hard to find where it was
