Ira Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) MORE BLACK!!! I painted the inside of X-ite with Tamiya Flat Black. Engines and Landing Gear are from AMT's Star Wars X-Wing Fighter. The Access Panel was also painted Black and '32 Ford Hubcaps were used as Vertical Thrusters... Almost Done...

Ira Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 LOTS OF GLASS!!! I added the Rear Door Glass and the Windshield. Later, I applied Black Stripping Tape around the Windshields Edges, to cover the glue line. The Side Windows were a little tricky to fit in, but I got them in. I used a product called Formula 560 Cockpit Glue to attach the Windows, Good Product! FINISHED X-ITE Photos Coming Next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 I like you're version better . This one looks more "Balanced ". I'm surprised Ed Roth himself never envisioned a second version of his creation. I met him once when he was part of a World of Wheels show in Dallas once . He really was a wealth of useful information that day. He would stop and answer my questions as he was signing autographs for others . Thanks Ed! Glad you like it...
