Related: First Biden budget to accelerate push toward Boeing 737 replacement It’s a name that belies the morphing shape of its wings and a nod to an iconic vehicle from science fiction, but well beyond the internal moniker are far reaching implications for Airbus’s future airliners and the unceasing competition with Boeing. After its cancellation in April 2020, much of the technical leadership of that project moved to shepherd a new type of demonstrator. In the early weeks of the pandemic’s ravaging of global commercial aviation, Airbus pulled the plug on a full-scale demonstrator program called E-Fan X, a bid to convert one of four engines on an aging regional jet to hybrid-electric propulsion. The parts lists for all three options are included in the downloads tab, for clarity I've added the set numbers and made the 75301 mod instructions and Studio file a separate zip file.Purchase and download a copy of this article The Phoenix Leader (I love Hera Syndulla!) and Blue Leader colour schemes require red mod parts plus a few more, each will cost around £8 total. It's extremely simple and just adds a new nose tip (in the old X-Wing style), nose shaping, retractable landing gear and some engine intake detail. The standard red mod will cost you less than £5 in extra pieces. Update December 2020: I've added a quick and cheap modification to the new 2021 X-wing set 75301, in three colours! So there you go, another day, another MOD! Enjoy. It's not quite movie-accurate but I think its an improvement and most importantly all the modifications are easy to add and cheap to source, the 84 pieces will only set you back around £/$/€4. I've also lengthened the engines by adding more cylinders (thanks to Jerac for the idea and especially Richpepperell over on Eurobricks for the beautifully simple execution), built in some simple landing gear and of course hidden the wing lever under a little greeble flap. but I still couldn't leave it alone!Īs with my other X-Wings I've added some plates to the upper and lower sides of the nose, to try to give the illusion of tapering towards the tip, and added a line of tiles to the sides to reduce the boxiness. This X-Wing is probably my favourite set.
