[MOC] Customized Resistance B-Wing

[Bob De Quatre]

Aala Krien was a skillful B-Wing pilot during the rebellion against the galactic empire. When she joined the resistance, her renown allowed her to be given the head of a T-70 X-wing squadron, acoomplishing hit and run missions. While the X-wing was quite efficient, she soon missed the firepower of her old B-wing and the control provided by its ion cannons. She asked the resistance engineers to remodel a B-wing into a starfighter capable of fullfilling her missions. They made her custom B-wing lighter, faster with upgraded engines and thrusters, and easier to control with the ability to embark an astromech droid.

Hope you'll like this MOC as mush as I liked building it. It's been a while since I wanted to do some kind of an evolution to the B-Wing, so I thought what could a B-Wing be like during the Resistance era? How would they have upgraded it? How would they they have dealt with its obvious flaws?...

Killer! Something tells me that droid would become very dizzy with his whole body spinning around in addition to his rotating head!

Holy cow Bob, I love it. Angles look great, the intakes and engines are fantastic.  Great job man, really well done!  Looks like a beefily updated B-Wing. :)

Spectacular!  Everything is updated and enhanced just beautifully.  The split engine configuration is sweet, and the greebling on the main wing is excellent.  Fantastic all-around!

I really like the exposed details on the leading edge of the bottom wing, especially the golden piping. Overall a very clean look and your choice of parts for the two smaller lateral wings makes them look like genuine aerofoils which is no small feat in Lego. :)

The only thing that's bugging me a bit is the cockpit's positioning, which gives the whole craft the appearance of a hunched back.
