The original file had the cockpit as a single piece, which made the glass dificult to polish. I sliced the file into 3 pieces (cockpit front and back, and guns). Cockpit glass has been polished and coated in Future

I wanted the rear cone to rotate with the cockpit. I was in one piece in the files, so I cut it free and glued in some appropriately sized conduit, which will be glued into the rotating cockpit tube

Cockpit painted and compared to the production B-Wing cockpit. Now just waiting for a pilot - looking for a suitable Hera Syndulla STL but may have to scrath-build her.

Album info

This is the prototype B-Wing fighter seen in Star Wars: Rebels season 2. The kit is from a file produced by Pocket Dimension Studios and printed by myself, scaled down to 1/72. I am modifying the printed parts to produce cockpit interiors and rotating cockpits. The pilot's cockpit and some parts will come from a Bandai 1/72
