Action Fleet T-Wing

**hawkelancer** · 03-05-2009

Hello

This is my First time posting here. I have this Twing that I converted from an X-Wing. But I thout it was missing something. So here I am posting for your viewing pleasure the addition of the Guns to the T-wing. I used the guns from the TS Z-95 headhunter to complete this. I still have to paint the guns.

I have 2 Custom X-wings I will post once i get good pictures of them. Both have 6 engines, I was inspired by a starwars comic. And one of these is a dual cockpit. the double cockpit version is still a little rough and I need to work out some details.

Welcome hawkelancer!

Very nice work. It looks great. The ship reminds me of a Viper from BSG.

According to something i read once the Viper from bsg is based on the T-wing. Lucas was deciding what fighter for the rebels to use, and he was presented drawings of the t-wing and the xwing. he chose the x-wing for the rebels. when the first bsg was going the same designer of the t-wing made some changes to it and the Viper was born.

I did not know that.
I really liked the Buck Rogers ship. Would have been nice to get one.

I like the Buck Rogers ship, too. Wish there was something else available in the small scale other than the too kid-friendly Corgi version.

Cool custom, very rare. What made you think to do this one, specifically?

**hawkelancer** · 03-07-2009

I liked the T-wing and I have over 30 Xwings. some of them have missing guns now and i thought i would recycle them somehow. the T-wing was one idea the others i will post soon.
