Have someone tried rotating Protectorate Starfighter?

By Jiron, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

The question is self-explanatory. I am considering some cutting and gluing on one of my Protectorate Starfighter to set make it look like it's in the middle of rotation maneuver we saw in Rebels. Have anyone tried such a thing? was it successful?

Pics and a link to a facebook tutorial with photos, plus a brief description in thread without photos.

It's actually really easy, and it looks great.

I find that rotation feature so irritating nonsensical that I coses to pretend it doesn't exist.

Good for you.

How does this help people who do want to make it exactly?

If you don't have anything helpful to say, especially in this subforum, perhaps consider not saying anything.

Hoped for some input to change my mind.
You know the hidden fluff you do not get on 1st glance.

Then maybe say that instead of just saying that you hate them.

Personally, I'm not big on the fluff of them, but I like the looks of the ship more when it can rotate - not to mention that it can be practical on the table to be able to change its position without removing it from the base.

Only thing that makes sense is it would give the pilot better visibility to the bottom left and right.

If anything there is no point to a B-wing rotating either.

That is true.

But didn't you know, spinning's a good trick!

There's a 3D printed piece on Shapeways by Alien Luxury. Looks easy enough to install.
