Hi all! This is my first (completed) MOC ever as an AFOL, an A-wing in 1:43 scale. I made it in my own color scheme.
I updated it with the proper canopy, it's from chinese manufacturer Wange. It's perfect for the scale, but getting the minifigure out is even more awkward now, and the helmet barely fits, and only when turned to the side.
OLD version here:
The build is very simple thanks to these newer lego wedge parts combining into an absolutely perfect a-wing shape:
Btw I learned that the ILM studio model is basically just two parts of an f-14 fuselage glued together, can't unsee it now!
The result is a very sturdy model, apart from couple of areas: the cannons, the forward 3x2 tiles (gotta replace them with 2x6 ones), and the rear structure between the engines. The engines are also a bit weak, but at least they're locked at an angle and don't wobble at all.
