[MOC] X-83 TwinTail Starfighter

[Sleeper]

Hey there,

it's me again with the next one of my MOC's, created a few weeks ago.

It's my mocced LEGO version of the X-83 TwinTail Starfighter, known from the legacy era of the Expanded Universe. It's a part of the X-Wing starfighter series, and is used about 130 Years ABY by the New Jedi Order.

The X-83 is a single-pilot Starfighter, with support from an Astromech-droid, which has manufactured into the ship. This Starfighter is equipped with a Shield-generator, a strong armour and armed with four enhanced heavy laser-cannons and a proton-torpedo launcher.

In atmospheric, as in space flight, the X-83 is a particularly maneuverable fighter.

Like the T-65 X-Wing, the X-83 has S-foils too.

This shown model is created out of 437 bricks, including the Pilot.

It's build in minifigure-scale and fits in it's size to the third generation (2012) x-wing.

Created as a concept model in LDD .

I have uploaded it on Cuusoo too, so maybe, you would support me. It would be great.. ;)

Altough, take a look at my other MOC here on Eurobricks: E-Wing Escort Starfighter

It's very true to the source material..!

Great work :thumbup: I really like the design and the color scheme, supporting

Great job! I hadn't heard of this star fighter, but I like it. I especially like how you've done the rear tail part (with those cylinders) and the yellow color scheme is certainly refreshing.

I'm always in favour of moar star fighters, so supported!

I haven't heard of this ship either, but It looks really awesome. Not to mention it's very accurate, nice job!

I support.

This ship is new to me also, but it has a very cool shape, and the build is great.

Like others, I also have never heard of this Starfighter, but it is very nicely done.

When I first saw it it immediately remind me of the 1936-1937 P 38 Lightning, a WW II fighter airplane.

Kind of shows... The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Your starfighter is great!

Hey,

thanks for all this positiv Feedback.. :)

As expected, the most of you didn't know this starfighter until now. But, as i think, its a pretty cool designed starfighter, and it's a pretty good successor to the classical X-wing.. ;)

So, i have created it in LEGO. To let the Community know, that there is much more cool stuff in other eras (especially the legacy era), as to the time of the clone wars and the civil war.. ;)

And as we know. Some of the weapons and vehicles are indeed similyr the some WWII equipment. So i think, the similarity to the P 38 Lightning isn't a coincidence.. ;)

Again, thanks for your Feedback, and best regards.

Hi!

Great MOC! I love the designs of your X-83 Twin Tail and your CF-9 Crossfire! Would you share the LDD´s? I really would like to complete my fleet with these great ships.

Thanks and have a nice day!
