[MOC] [WIP] Modified Custom B-Wing "Azure Diamond Squadron"

[jachasedesigns]

My first custom moc. Started out as dismantling and playing with parts from another set. Evolved into this beautiful beast. Sorry for the quality of pictures, they were taken with a phone. 

 

Thank you for checking this out!

Beautiful model, and a great color choice.

I love the colours! Nice sneaky landing gear too, always nice to see on a B-wing.

here is a good shot of the undercarriage where the main landing gear rest:

The landing gear is clever and well hidden, and the ship as a whole is spectacular!  It's pretty darn beefy, but not unwieldy looking, plus with the coloration (love the azure) and design, it almost looks like a Resistance B-Wing.  I like the larger engines, and the fact they're offset a bit, it's really visually pleasing.  Great job man! :)  Now you just need to make a bunch more to complete your squadron...

@DrMuttonchops Thank you! It's quite big and pretty heavy. Oddly enough it started out as a alternate building of 75178 - Quad Jumper, hence the engines. I always thought it would need some pretty beefy engines to be fast enough to be useful. Definitely fits into the Resistance aesthetic.

Very nice! My favourite non-empire ship and not featured enough in star wars.

Any chance of seeing it with s-foils deployed?
