Revell X-Wing (Easykit)

By Massimo Sora

This model is very large, it is 435 mm long. I think it's the most detailed model among the models Revell easykit and is very suitable to be customized. You need to use glue or model can be disassembled. I put an electronic circuit into the model for flickering engine leds with control trimmer. In the cockpit I have used fiber optics and auto-flashing LEDs. The auto-flashing LEDs are inexpensive and do not require electronic circuits. I used only the resistors for power supply to 12v. To enter the cockpit with the lights I had to cut some "internal bulkheads" of the fuselage and bend the optical fiber with hot air from a hair dryer. During the difficult closure of the fuselage (with glue). I think that some of the wires of the circuit are disconnected because now only three of five LEDs work. Missing are a yellow and a green. Maybe this is better because otherwise the cockpit looked like a christmas tree. The landing gear are removible for a flight configuration. In the future will build a support with built-in batteries, with a "Death Star" base.
