Hi all,
Recently, I've aquired an Icons x-wing fighter, that's in need of a little help. Most everyone knows the history of these models, as well as the problems they have.
My acquisition is typical of these problems, with warped s-foils.
I know that the s-foils can be heated and re-shaped, but I'm looking for a more permanent fix for this. I think the best course of action is to replace the s-foil assemblies all together, and repainting them to match.
I would appreciate any insight you all may have on restoring this cool piece of Star Wars studio scale lineage. Maybe point me in a direction for a source for a new compete set of s-foils I can graft onto this model.
I'd love to have this lovely bird returned to its former glory, and displayed proudly in my collection.
Thank you all in advance for any assistance you can provide.
