I'd rather use USPS in my case. \
Easier to receive and less chance to be racketed here in Canada with USPS when Fedex here are really bad....

These will ship either Fedex or USPS priority, both have tracking.

All out of USA are USPS. Fedex has always been good to me (knock on wood) but I only use them for USA packages

Having that box of 200 wings rip open on the way to Mike about killed me. That was the last job I did RIGHT before moving my family and my shop to a new house. I had to get the laser up and running temporarily to redo these. I am sorry for the delay, blame me not Mike!!!!

Add me to the list of those who don't mind receiving their x-wing until after the holiday rush.

I am not going to be here anyway so early Januaryish is good.

Yup, same here, I'm on the Red 2 list, been wanting a Salzo Xwing for almost two years now, I can wait a couple more weeks. It's not like I was going to start working on it during the holidays anyway. So no need to rush sending rare and expensive parts through mail right now

Updated first post with the instructions link. It's just the inventory page, and I will update often, until it's done!

He told me that he would start to work on the armatures after the Holidays. So I presume he will be back working on them beginning of January.

Guns has also heatsinks without rings. I do not see them listed/photographed in "Guns guns guns!" section on instruction page.

Thank you for the instructions Jason. Don't forget to specify in the upcoming update what length and diamater the brass tubes for the lasers should be. Thank you.

Buy these and cut to match either reference pics or the resin in your kit (the laser cannons are not 100% consistent from ship to ship):

3/32
1/8
5/32
3/16
7/32
1/4
9/32
5/16

Hi Olivier.
You could measure the canons that will be provided with the kit as Jason mentioned: brass tubing (if you choose to use them on the laser cannons).
except if someone confirms that they wont be included of course.

For those who are interested to upgrade the heatsinks and don't know this info already,
https://ca-en.alliedelec.com/aavid-thermal-division-of-boyd-corp-323005b00000g/71076844/

just did find this one less expensive:
http://www.futureelectronics.com/en...umberSearch|323005B00000G|1|,Ny:True,Nea:True
You`d need 12 per X-wings. 8 for the cannons and 4 for the engines.

Needed brass tubing for the cannons:
- 5/16
- 9/32
- 1/4
- 7/32
- 3/16
- 5/32
- 1/8
- 3/32

- - - Updated - - -

Damned... you`re too fast for me.
