MOC: Microscale Stealth X-Wing

Recommended Posts

Quickie MOC here: it's a stealth version of the X-Wing in microscale (or "Advent Calendar") form. On the left is the original X-Wing from the 2011 Advent Calendar (which was rereleased at Toys R Us on May the Fourth). On the right is basically the same model, but in "stealth" form.

The Stealth X-Wing was a secretive fighter used by Rogue Squadron on special top-secret missions for the Rebellion. It first appeared in Dark Horse Comics' "In the Shadow of Yavin" story where Leia had to find a leak in the Rebels' midst while trying to find a new base. (Hoth was still 3 years off.) This story is now considered "non-canon" thanks to Disney wiping the Expanded Universe, but it did give us a cool new X-Wing design which might be reused someday.

Microscale obviously has its limits, but this was easy since all I had to do was copy the AC X-Wing in different colors. I'd prefer to use maroon 1x1 tiles instead of red, but I only have one in maroon, so red it is for now. I hope you like it. I have a lot of small parts to use, so I'm hoping to make some more microscale ships in the coming months. (I'm trying to crack the code on how to make a decent-looking TIE Interceptor. If you have any ideas, help!)

This is great! I always loved the advent calendar X-Wing. I love the stealth X-Wing's design, and the rouge (and wraith) squardron books. The dark red would look really nice, but the normal red works.
