“This X-Wing is probably my favourite set… but I still couldn’t leave it alone!
As with my other X-Wings I’ve added some plates to the upper and lower sides of the nose, to try to give the illusion of tapering towards the tip, and added a line of tiles to the sides to reduce the boxiness. I’ve also lengthened the engines by adding more cylinders (thanks to Jerac for the idea and especially Richpepperell over on Eurobricks for the beautifully simple execution), built in some simple landing gear and of course hidden the wing lever under a little greeble flap.
It’s not quite movie-accurate but I think its an improvement and most importantly all the modifications are easy to add and cheap to source, the 84 pieces will only set you back around £/$/€4. So there you go, another day, another MOD! Enjoy.
Update December 2020: I’ve added a quick and cheap modification to the new 2021 X-wing set 75301, in three colours!
The standard red mod will cost you less than £5 in extra pieces. It’s extremely simple and just adds a new nose tip (in the old X-Wing style), nose shaping, retractable landing gear and some engine intake detail.
The Phoenix Leader (I love Hera Syndulla!) and Blue Leader colour schemes require red mod parts plus a few more, each will cost around £8 total. The parts lists for all three options are included in the downloads tab, for clarity I’ve added the set numbers and made the 75301 mod instructions and Studio file a separate zip file.” – By the author
