Missileboat mod

So this is how I will mod at least 2 of my gunboats.

Remove the top fin and cannons (green circle) and replace it with 1 of the smaller, side wings (red circles).

Remove the smaller side wings, and add a pair of ordnance tubes (blue circles) from another gunboat, or if I find something else suitable. I will go and look at the toy sections.

Then I will file down the large cannons on the main wings, and use the cannon pair removed earlier to place it on the chin.

Then my custom paint job, red tinted windows and a darker grey color, and blue engine glow. Will post pictures about the project when I start.

Missile boat only had one chin gun. But two might look better. I only approve this since GUNBOAT is being sacrificed for sister Boat.

You could also grab Mels' model for $12.84 on shapeways, which is a real Missile boat and not a mod...

Plus you wouldn't need to cut up two beautiful assault gunboat models.

Plus, that Missile boat looks ugly in my opinion, and since it seems that in FFG's interpretation, they are different versions of the same ship, I'd prefer if they looked a bit more alike.

I guess that's true... speaking for myself but I wouldn't want to cut up the beautiful XG for the sake of a the blocky XWA design. The streamlined one is the closest to the original depiction from TIE Fighter so *shrug*
