Made a little mod to reflect Corran Horn's E wing and while I was at it I fixed a few things that bugged me about the design of the E Wing.

Nice. Can't have in a ship that isn't green.

The dorsal mounted cannon is a stupid design decision. It should be prow mounted. With a dorsal mounted, non-turreted, cannon, you block block your view at 12 o'clock high . . .

Since you removed the third cannon don't forget to reduce your attack strength to 2. ;-p (I know he moved it I know.)

Like. The green, the rest... well to each his own.

PS Whistler does look cool.

Please give me!

Very nice. Repositioning the dorsal cannon underneath came out great. The Astromech would normally be buried deep in the ship, but I like that you've got him sticking his dome out so he can get it shot at.

Just don't equip any torpedoes on it....cause they will fire right into the cannon that you moved underneath.

Oh yeah!

Where is the astromech on the e-wing?!

There is a closeup schematic of the open cockpit floating around the internet.

Nah, they fire from the side, like an X-wing. Those 2 panels on either side, below the cockpit. Those are the launchers.

Hi Buckaroo, the E-Wing looks really nice, good job - I have to ask though, you mentioned masking the E-Wing in order to paint the squad markings... how in the blue hell did you manage to put masking on a model that small? I'm in awe!

I didn't take any pictures of masking the E Wing but I did something similar with the X Wings. See this old blog post for an example of the masking.

I use Tamiya masking tape and it's great stuff

I really like what you did with your E-Wing. That's how it should have been designed. Although I still want those engines to be snugged up against the fuselage instead of out near the tips of the wings.

Thanks!

Thanks, that's a big help! Great job on the X-Wing as well!

Nope, they are underneath. No torps for you!

lol, that whole craft's design is dumb. How do the torpedoes fire? Does a flap open up from the bottom?

OK, so the torpedo launchers need to be moved, too, to where they are on the X-Wing. What a mess.

What do you suppose that arrow on the side of the E-Wing, extending from the launcher is if not the path of the torpedoes?

That schematic shows only where the launcher is along the length of the E-wing. The fact that the arrow points to the bottom of the launchers doesn't mean they exclusively exist on the bottom of the ship.

My E-Wing is a rare model B13, the dorsal Laser cannon is moved to a ventral mount. Torpedoes are moved concealed ports on the underside wing roots. problem solved
