That's just about it for this build, next up is the TIE!

Excellent work. Beautiful prints and I love the weathering and colors

The orientation of those gun tips is kind of odd though, but that is also how the smaller MPC snap model was. I think they are like that in ESB or ROTJ when they used the larger MPC model?

Ha, good call, I will have to look more closely at some examples and see. They slide out so easy to adjust.

And thanks!

Go with what you like

I mean, there is no reason those things could not rotate after all. Like maybe when the wings are close they rotate to that position, and then back to vertical when the wings open

at any rate, there is a "canon" example of both orientations

the ESB MPC filming model

and ANH Red 2

Ha, yeah, I was just flipping through my book after your post and now I need to go re-do my shots

Both my other x-wings are like the layout below. But, it is strange, to my eye I tend to go first with them laid out in your upper photo, not sure why.
