1/24 Hero X Wing Build with Maxi Brute Fuselage

[PB BB1]

As for the lineage back to the Hero versions... yeah what a ride. I've been through all of the research on the RPF and other forums years ago but recently someone posted a chart documenting when and who completed the X and Y filming miniatures. Its up on the RPF now, but does little to tell us more about construction/materials. Just a timeline really.

But look sharp. Red 1 is on the table twice in the shot of the proud modelmakers. One Hero, one pyro. Best guess is Red 3 represented more than just one X in ESB and ROTJ. Mods we're made for it to double as Red 5 with landing gear down. What I want to know is what happened to Red Leader and the other Hero models? Rumor has it that one was stolen during production, and I heard Grant McCune still has 'his' in his office to this day.

Damn, I would love to see those photos taken during the Estes visit.

Almost done the engine master:


Onto the Maxi Brute X fuselage comparison:
