That’s really gorgeous.

Showing my ignorance of most thing Star Wars tech–is that a movie design, or something you’ve done on you’re own?

Hi Gregbale, I’m really glad you like it. This has not been in the movies, yet. I hope it will make it into the new ones and I cannot take credit for any of the design. It’s from the expanded universe ie: games, books and other areas. After building it though I feel it is one of the better ships that are out there. Thanks for taking a look. -Stephen

I think the “Dark Empire” comics were the first appearance of the E-Wing.

Great job on that fighter! I’ve seen a few different depictions of the design, and that is a good one. Is that a kit, scratch, or bash?

Years ago I mocked up a space fighter design that started with chopping the back half off from a Northrop F-5A. At first glance, it reminded me of that. Neat lines.

Awesome job man! That is sweet!

Kugai, this is a resin kit from JPG Castings that I got from starship modelers. It was really well casted, the only thing was the end of the laser canons were warped. I ended up cutting the tips off and replacing them with 18ga hypodermic needles. It also came with three vac formed canopies, which I ended up using. Still have a hard time with those canopies. Thanks for looking in. Eagle90, I’m glad you like it, I appreciate th comments. -Stephen
