MasterBuilder98 Posted October 20, 2020 It always amazes me when builders accomplish angles and curves that don't seem possible, and connect them with little to no gaps. Excellent work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir-Unicorn Posted October 21, 2020 I built two, one red and one yellow. I want to do Blue Leader next. The expensive wheel parts are much cheaper in old gray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BowmanSam Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Here's my x-wing story. First of all I want to thank and praise Jerac for this amazing design. It looks stunning and the way it’s put together leaves me utterly speechless. Standing ovation, incredible piece of art. I choose to build the red-5 version. The building process itself was extremely rewarding and I got it all finished pretty easily. The hardest part for me was attaching the top part of the nose fuselage (page 94, step 11). As I got the other end attached, the other end popped loose. I had to adjust it maybe 5 or 6 times before I got it right, so in the end even that wasn't excessively tricky. And here's a photo of my finished beauty. It's pretty much like the original design. Only a few subtle changes here and there. The most visible one being the larger engine exhausts. To my eye they were originally a little bit too "skinny". I have this 30-year old x-wing model kit and when I compared the exhausts of the lego design to my old model kit, they were more or less the same size even though the lego design is otherwise bigger. Yeah, I know the exhausts might be a little too big now, but somehow the overall silhouette of the ship pleases my eye even more this way. Here’s a picture to demonstrate the size comparison. Next I'm planning to purchase the parts for Jerac's tie-fighter. I already bought the instructions and can't wait to get to build it and have it displayed next to my oh-so-precious x-wing.

From building mine I’m pretty sure you would need to mod the design to use a wb stand. Jerac’s designs are generally studless and wb stands have studs that connect to anti studs underneath. They are more suited to official sets. for my Jerac I built my own stand from Technic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jollygrnreefer Posted December 10, 2021 Complete awesomeness! Just finished building mine in the white/red variant. Only issue was unable to get the gear box working with the technic pin. This issue was answered in a previous post, looks like I need to rip her down and realign the cogs. Definitely exceeded my expectations, you out did yourself on this one Jerac.Thankyou for the awesome model! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
