Ok, it's not really a hybrid and it still has some of it's wings, but I thought it kind of looked like a cool star ship without some of it's wings :D

I was doing a bit of maintenance and it's getting repainted soon and I noticed it kind of works without upper of lower wings. A different look, just goes to show how sweet the X wing design really is without all it's wings it still looks pretty cool.;)

Now we know where the E-Wing came from: they were building an X-Wing kit for the movie and dropped it so it only had 2 wings left lol. Love the paint job, I never have luck with chipped paint when I try it.
 
Wes, try liquid mask and salt, you'll be amazed at the paint chip detail that can be had.

Neat looking model btw!

Salt masking works better than liquid in my experience. I used the MicroMark liquid mask on an ERTL Slave I, this was probably around TPM time and it stuck. I had to careful pry it up with a knife blade. For the salt, just make sure you get smaller grain salt for smaller scale. I used popcorn salt on my 1/72 FM X-Wing.


Seeing the OP, I'm thinking some configuration like that would make a cool Ugly fighter.
 
We used liquid mask on most of the disney models.
