Here's the Hero Starfighter, X-Wing Red 3. I'm not sure why she's called the Hero X-Wing since Luke Skywalker piloted Red 5. I guess probably the Force is strong in this one, so there are more images of this Hero ship to help you capture the essence of his starfighter. Due to the number of images, Red 3's studio model reference will be divided into five parts, the first with an overall view of the X-Wing, the second to cover the nose, upper and lower fuselage and the astromech section, the third to cover the cockpit area, the fourth section to highlight on the engine sections and lastly the wings and laser cannons.

Here's an overview of the starfighter in its entirety.

Continuing with the studio model reference for the X-Wing fighter, here's Red 2 to assist you to re-create the second X-Wing team member.

Studio Model Reference X-Wing Fighter Red 1

In lieu of the coming Hero X-Wing fighter kit from ART-2 Models, I have decided to put the Studio Model images of the X-Wing Fighter to enable those who want to craft their X-Wing according to how they want theirs to look like.

Here's X-Wing Leader Red 1

The X-Wing Fighter, and ART-2 Models New Offering

The X-Wing Fighter, first seen in Star Wars (before it was known as Star Wars A New Hope) way back in 1978, and has since become an iconic one man space fighter to this day. It was the very first Sci Fi genre that introduced dog fights in space, and inspired countless other movies to follow suit.

The X-Wing Starfighter is actually the Incom T-65 Starfighter developed by the Incom Corporation. Known for its versatility and exceptional combat performance, she is equipped with deflector shields, a hyperdrive and an R2 Astromech for repairs and navigation. She is also armed with four laser cannons and a complement of photon torpedoes.

Of course if you ask me, the best X-Wing kit to date would still be the 1/72 and 1/48 scale plastic kits from Fine Molds. Some may argue about this but after having assemble kits from MPC-ERTL, Revell and then Fine Molds, my vote is with the latter.

And then Kotobukiya introduced this fully painted but you need to assemble kit of a comprehensive X-Wing to date. I have this one too, and I can tell you some parts are really a b***h to fit in. I have read fingers and thumbs to attest to this, but I will admit, she's one fine kit. Detailed to the hilt, and a miniature diorama provided along. She's pricey too.

With so many variants of the X-Wing fighter kits hitting the market (both resin and plastic kits), when I hear another one was coming, I sort of went "humph, OK". I didn't really went to have a look over at Modelermagic.com's after receiving their FB alert (saw the alert on my 3G with my phone)... I should have. I decided to take a look using my Unifi at home and ...... Whoa, nice. And I do believe this kit is going to give Captain Cardboard's Scott Alexandre (now known as Atomic City Models) resin kit a run for its money, well, in a sense since his kit is already out of production. The idea of course is to reproduce the closest Hero Unit, in this case "Red 3" which was piloted by Luke Skywalker.
