dvogon Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Many thanks! The G wing has an internal technic structure to hold the weight through the wings. Having visible studs for shifting the color scheme at both sides increased the weight substantially, specially because the G has only one joint point with the cockpit. The rotating nature of the cockpit obviously required to have visible studs on both sides, this is something I miss from the last mandalorian starfighter (75316) where I got the idea. I guess Lego should came up over time with a brick(s) to ease these setups. The internal back of the ship is full of technic structure to hold the weight of the whole wing there, which can be seen holding the 4 engines as well. The teeth in the cockpit front are reminiscent of X-Wing decorations in the Rogue Squadron books. Most parts and color scheme are a mix from the Episode IV X-Wing set and from the Episode IX X-Wing set. I also have some additional interior shots in flickr: Edited July 8, 2022 by dvogon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
