Mini T-70 X-Wing

[firestarter83]

Found this model the other day, while not as detailed as others out there it was still fun to build and wasn't too difficult.
Good way to spend a Saturday morning!

It is available for free here if you want to try it out:

I finished most of it with the exception of the cannons which were a little too thin, might enlarge them before completing the model.

Very nice build! Thank you for the link to the Japanese site. There are a few other models available, too. I haven't seen them before. Great!

Was able to get the model finished up on my lunch break today, not too bad!

I like the size of this. SOme toothpicks could straighten out the wing tip spars.

Lovely!

Thanks for the feedback!
Good idea on the toothpicks, I will give that a try.

It is already some time ago but do you still have the model?
I build it too and noticed a slight torsion in the fuselage, despite careful and precise cutting, using quite thin paper and painstakingly glueing.

Did you also got some torsion in the fuselage?

I just finished a second build of it, scaled it down to approximately 1:200 (about 6,5cm long now) and anticipated the torsion. Cut away some glue flaps, glued directly to the egdes, cut away >1mm at certain egdes. It came out with less torsion, but still some:


I will post a thread of my build the next days maybe.
I used grey board to strengthen the cannons and fast glue to stiffen some parts.
