It was said to have been used to produce the last 4 XWings used in A New Hope. So from that statement I suspect they were 'Pyros'. Im trying to find the information on that buck.
Yeah, I read that on another forum not realizing that was you. So who did wind up with it? IIRC another guy on the same forum was going to offer a kit, with a backplate from an original, and then backed out after he snipes that gem from the Edlund collection?
I have the photos of that thing... no doubt that is the Pyro master. Wing mounts are dead on to the photos of the Pyros. That buck used to make it is definitely the same as the Hero versions. You can also see the styrene bottom half, and resin nose. Same parts that were used on the heros.
