Chris' 1/72 Bandai B- Wing - Rebels B-Wing Prototype

[Steve-the-Duck]

So, I may be making a rod for my own back here, but I'm going to convert this to the red Blade-Wing prototype, as seen in Rebels

I did find a 3D printed conversion kit, but it appears to be for one of the wargames models. I don't know whether to see if it can be made larger, or if that's a forlorn hope idea

It may be a while to get to this one, what with a couple-or-three Hurricanes and a brace of biplanes to finish. Plus that Thunderjaw is calling...

Good luck with that Chris

Interesting kit Chris. The conversion kit might be for the X-Wing game model……

It is indeed. I don't know how big that model is. I think I've seen a box on a shelf but not the actual model. I'm thinking 1/200 maybe?

The wings of war WW1 birds are 1/200 so that sounds about right Chris….

Was it the kit you saw or the file? If it's the file you can print it at any scale....

It was a replacement gun pod and cockpit piece, which the maker offered in clear. It was the actual pieces he was offering, not that I have a printer to use the files in anyway

I REALLY need to get in touch, but it's all via Shapeways...

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Well he's sure to be able to scale it for you in that case

He's in the States tho', so postage is going to be a b**! We'll see
