1/12th ANH X-Wing Fighter, update page-4

The so called " 4-Footer" X-wing made by ILM modelers, was not 4 feet,
My memory fails me butt is was closer to 4-12 feet or so...
It was closer to 1/10 scale in size ( if I recall) It has entirely different set of kit parts on it (especially regarding the R2 Strip & Rear section)

In a few places I have "augmented" the details because of the larger size. This has been subtle not altering the character or fell of the orignal model.
An example of this would be on the F-4 Phantom engines which were pretty " soft" in detail; the wires & anhoses of the upscaled version will be a bit "crisper"
The exception will be the cockpit interior.
