LukeSkybuilder Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Lego K-Wing Bomber Type A by LukeSkybuilder, on Flickr This is one of the largest starfighters I have built and it is built to 1:37 scale (minifig scale). You might ask why it is missing the dual cockpits and dual bubble turrets and that is a good question! This is a Type-A version of the ship which is more accurate to the books (Black Fleet Crisis) that it comes from. The Type-B (or uglier version if you will) was created due to a picture from the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels being wildly inaccurate. I photoshoped that picture super fast to make it more accurate to BFC: K-Wing Bomber Type A by LukeSkybuilder, on Flickr Here she is with no payload and with her landing gear down. Not sure how cannon the landing foot is but I assumed it would exist. Lego K-Wing Bomber Type A by LukeSkybuilder, on Flickr I made a few different payload profiles for it (see the video) and here are some of my favorite of the bits and bobs I made for them including a "SAB-A7 Buzz Droid" of my own concept (based on the Imp probe droid and the Sep Buzz Droid), a cargo/ammo/supply drop crate and a speeder bike drop crate.

Kage Goomba Posted December 12, 2021 WOW Love it. Very nicely done. Looks just like I imagined from the books. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerac Posted December 12, 2021 Kudos for making one of ugliest ships in SW fandom into something actually cool, nice and making sense! Ditching all the stupid little addons really helped it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do feel kind of compelled to make the crazy messy version tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted April 8, 2022 The K-Wing is my favorite SW ship. Love your version. Not sure how I missed it before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdavidc29 Posted May 1, 2023 Great work on the ship! I actually like the Space-Warthog now. Squaring off the cockpit and cutting out the tacked on, chin-mounted ball turret, alongside the inline double cockpit does a lot to save the K-Wing from looking like an overly-complicated pile of ship parts. However, with the engine moved to its earlier position under the ship, I think the top looks a little too barren, what with the wings continuing right over the body. While not technically shown anywhere, I think it could be a good spot to integrate the more recessed bubble turret from the later version of the ship and similar to the Clone Wars era Y-Wing.

Iperial_Fleet_Commander Posted May 2, 2023 Huh, I was wondering why it looked naked. I grew up with the essential guide to vehicles, so seeing it without the bubble turret feels weird. model looks fantastic though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
