Dameronian Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) ...or rather, the heavily stickered Rebels Wookiee Gunship, one out the "here's a SW set you don't see on EB everyday" -category.. Some of the mods: -engines moved up and out to the tips of the (slightly widened) wings where they belong; -smaller better proportioned canons; -inverted slopes above rear cargo hatch (and some better sloped fuselage transitions here and there); -underside made smooth (there is a huge gaping hole in the original set between the rear skids); -movie accurate retractable front skid, just switch the locked axle for two pins; -rear skids changed to something more resembling the fixed repulsorlift modules that they are. All in an effort to restore and correct the look, stance and proportions of the Wookiee designed and operated, space flight capable, MIL MI-24 Hind helicopter gunship of sorts, it was intended to be...(and I happen to have a particular life long affection for this Russian helicopter...)

Tyutyu Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Fantastic. The original set looks terrible. This one looks like a Mi-24 Hind, and its lovely. Bravo Quote
Dameronian Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) I moved the engines to the very tip of the wings and everything remains surprisingly solid and swooshable. These are the wing and engine proportions I was looking for: Edited to add for comparison: The original set's engine positions are horrible: Edited November 23, 2015 by Dameronian Quote
