STAR WARS X-WING FIGHTER CROSS SECTION 3D VEHICLE SET

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import!  Taking the concept of cross section illustrations to the realm of three dimensions, Kotobukiya proudly presents the inaugural release in a new series of vehicles from the Star Wars universe.

Emblematic of the Rebel Alliance, the INCOM T-65 X-WING STARFIGHTER is a favorite of fighter pilots, due to its versatility and strong combat performance. It quickly became famous as the craft that destroyed the Imperial Death Star at the hands of young farmboy Luke Skywalker.

The X-Wing measures 12 2/3” long, in popular 1/35 military scale, and has “cutaway” parts that remove to reveal the inner workings. Over 100 removable parts help to create a full “cross section” in three dimensions!  The craft is comprised of six sets of component parts:

  • WING SET
  • WING SHAFT SET A
  • WING SHAFT SET B
  • NOSE CONE SET
  • COCKPIT SET
  • BODY SET

Each set has different bonus parts, such as mini figures and the diorama base parts, which help you to build the hanger base hidden within the Massassi ruins on Yavin IV.  Eight different mini figures are included in the complete set, including two X-Wing Pilots, two astromech units, ground crew, mechanics, and more!  Accessories such as the mini convoy, cables, and missile loaders are all part of the set.  When completed, you can choose to display the s-foils in attack position (open wings in “x” formation)!

Sold in one master box, with the six component sets included within, the X-Wing Cross Section 3D is fully painted and made of durable abs and pvc materials.  This replica is a fun to assemble, snap-fit kit that is put together (and taken apart!) without any glue or modeling skill.
