Incom/ARC170 Mashup
« on: January 17, 2016, 02:39:15 AM »


Here is the T-70 Xwing body mated to ARC 170 engines and wings. I call it the Incom/Sorosub T-85.

The engines were mounted via a length of square brass tube stock the runs through the body, then it was secured with loctite epoxy and aves.

I have to fill the holt in the lower nose of the batter compartment, and sctrach bash a new cockpit but this is a fun bash.

The long needle nose of the t-70 with the big engines and wings of the arc 170 makes and interesting looking ship.

The t-70 Xwing from force awakens in about 1/50, but I am calling it 1/48. I am not sure what the ARC 170 scale is but it appears to be close.

A 1/48 aftermarket cockpit should work in there just fine with a little modification

You would have to ask that.

I want to say the revell sanp kit from a few years ago. Its prepainted and goes together fairly well.

Now I am gonna have to do something with that ARC170 body I have left over.

Put P-60 wings and booms on it, paint it black, and see who notices? ;D
