Kotobukiya
introduces another unique line to their vinyl model kits: 3D Cross Sections. The
latest Kotobukiya
Spotlight Series shows everything you need to know about the inaugural vehicle
in this new line...
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.
