U-Wing Revell 1/100 scale model build

[COlson]

Just finished building my Revell U-Wing Gunship model. I pretty much did it straight out of the box. I know it's not a completely accurate model, but still cool looking. I made some new guns from aluminum tubing. I also did get some 3d printed engines and the rear grill. And I added some styrene walls with paper printed ship patterns to block some of the interior pegs seen through the lower windows. That's about it for mods.

The full photo gallery can be seen on my website. https://www.modelsbychris.com/star-wars-rogue-one-ships

Beautiful! Will there be a video on your channel as well? I love the U-Wing and have one of these kits in my stash. What did you use for the stand mount?

Great Job!

Nice weathering. A little bit goes a long way.

Thanks for the compliments. I know I could've easily gone all out and modified to be more accurate, added lighting, etc. But it actually is a pretty decent kit to begin with. A fairly simple ship, but nice design. And as Pcoz said, a little weathering goes a long way toward making a ship look more realistic.

I'm more interested in how you did the stand. I'd rather have mine shown "in flight" as well....but amazingly enough, even when searching for "Revell U-wing display stand" online....there are ZERO results. lol

The stand was just a piece off aluminum tubing and a wood base. All painted black. Very easy
