Salzo SS X-Wing Availability

Can anyone tell me if there are any SS X-Wings kits currently available and is Mike Salzo planning on another V3 or Improved V3 (iV3)release?
 
I have been working on what will be essentially a V4, not all that much different but the fuselage is a bit more refined. Also the canopy frame is refined a bit, so that it is a couple of mm narrower in front and an bit wider at the 3/4 point towards the back of the frame, that will largely correct the angle of the canopy. A couple of other small tweaks and a full new set of molds sometime after Wfest.

Thanks guys, just got back from WFest and will start posting more on this soon but here is a quick rundown on a couple of things. It will accept the armatures that are out there nicely. I also plan to offer a "builders option" which will be the fuselage but no wings, for those who want to build there own wings. It will include the kit parts needed for the wings and a cast of the correct HO brick pattern.
thanks

Thank god Mike,Im planning to build a Naked X-wing w all original donor kit parts,Ive contacted Jason on StudioScaleModeler for the Sealab parts,
Ive also contact a member on board regarding the HO brick pattern,but havent got any reply from him yet.
Glad to hear that you're offering the HO brick pattern,looking forward to this Mike,you'll have my money again lol...

Well the good news is that a "builders kit" will be less expensive on my end, but i guess more expensive in the end if you want to use real donor parts, but the result will be worth it, nothing beats real parts and plexi/styrene wings. I figured that there are some people here that would be interested in such a project...
thanks

It's been a while since anyone has written here, but as someone who was late to the Studio Scale party, and is therefore having a hell of a time tracking down a V3 or V3.1 kit, (I just got beaten handily in an eBay auction for a V3) I'd like to make the case that there is definitely a market out there for another run. Just in case anyone is listening. Hint hint.

Yeah, i heard that some V3's have been getting high prices on ebay.

I really do plan to get to what will be a V4, pretty soon. That 3 foot galactica run i have been doing is keeping me pretty busy, busier than i thought it would. I have had my time split between making new molds for that, casting up existing orders for that, making new molds for the ROTJ AT ST, making molds for the last of the DS turret add on parts, and a couple of other outside casting jobs. So I have been crazy busy, and i am still fighting the cold weather most of the time (is this the worst winter ever!)

Once the ROTJ at st molds are ready i can get geared up for a V4. The pattern does not need more than a day or so of tweaking. But i do need a whole new set of molds, top to bottom, which is expensive. Steve also wants me to make a new set of molds for the SS snowspeeder for him to do another run for Nice-N.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply, Mike. And that's great news! I can wait happily knowing the V4 will come along someday. I just bought one of Mike Reader's armatures so I'll be ready when it's available. Please put me on any list you might be keeping.

Thanks again,

David
 
Hi. Great to hear that a new kit run is coming up (& improved to boot). When you start making the kits, put me down for one too. Very interested.
