New and old fang fighters

By Belphegor07, in X-Wing

Are the paint jobs on the new and old fang fighters different? I saw one of the new ones and it looked very green but perhaps that's my eyes?

New is different and theoretically spins around the base.

Can confirm both.

Paint is different and compliments the old one well and rotation definitely works.

Did yours rotate right out of the gate? I got a new one and it feels rock solid. I'm not sure how hard I want to try and push it.

Mine was also stuck solid. It did give finally, but it took some force. Good luck!

I used an X-acto knife to gently pry at the gap and got it to free up. Spinny wings!

If you're curious of the origins of the paint jobs, both appeared in the Rebels TV series.

Fenn Rau's ship had this paint job, that is on the 2.0 Fang Fighter.

The rest of his squad had the paint job of the 1.0 "Protectorate Starfighter"

The colours are supposed to be pretty much the same.

I don't play Scum, but some of the people in my group said there was just a little extra paint on it that had to be cleared.
