Taking the concept of cross section illustrations to the realm of three dimensions, Kotobukiya proudly presents the inaugural release in a new series of vehicles from the Star Wars universe. This is one of the handsomest things we’ve seen in all of our years of collecting Star Wars memorabilia. The INCOM T-65 X-wing Starfighter measures 12-2/3” long, in that popular 1/35 military scale, and has “cutaway” parts that remove to reveal the inner workings. Over 100 removable parts help to create a full “cross section” in three dimensions! The craft is comprised of six sets of component parts: Wing Set, Wing Shaft Set A, Wing Shaft Set B, Nose Cone Set, Cockpit Set, and Body Set Each set has different bonus parts, such as mini figures and the diorama base parts, which help you (yes, you) to build the hanger base hidden within the Massassi ruins on Yavin IV. Eight different mini figures are included in the complete set, including two X-Wing Pilots, two astromech units, ground crew, mechanics, and more! Accessories such as the mini convoy, cables, and missile loaders are all part of the set. When completed, you can choose to display the s-foils in attack position (open wings in “x” formation)! This is all sold in one master box, with the six component sets included within, the X-Wing Cross Section 3D is fully painted and made of durable abs and pvc materials. This replica is a fun to assemble, snap-fit kit that is put together (and taken apart!) without any glue or modeling skill sets — even better. All of this can be yours for a mere bag of shells, amounting to $250. It’s available now through Diamond’s Previews catalog ordering system.    |
