Plastic Star Wars - 1:48 Bandai X-Wing Fighter (Moving Edition) Build and Tutorial

A video showing my build process for the 1/48 Bandai X-Wing Fighter (Moving Edition).

To see more of my builds, look me up on instagram:)

Music at the start written and performed by myself. Background music, ‘The Golden Present' by -Jesse Gallagher, ‘Swells’ by Underbelly & Ty Mayer all from YouTube Music Library.

Dude. The tone of your voice, the subtle music, and your steady, deliberate pacing all combine into this... hypnotic trifecta, which happen to be the exact ingredients needed to form the Perfect Storm of YouTube model builds.

I've built this model so many times - but I'm getting such a peaceful feeling watching this man do it. So many good memories here!

[allgood]

Nice work bro.. Luke Skywalker would be proud of you.. may The Force be with you! 👍🇳🇿

Great video, nice job, I nearly fell asleep due to the music and your calm tone :)

Nice, I'm 3D printing one to gift my brother and got into this wormhole of x-wing painting accuracy, that bandai kit looks great

[stanswan]

Amazing such careful detailing! Great job looks beautiful!

[pqsnet]

Great! You even ditched the decals and did it your self! 🧐
I love the Fiberoptics. Really makes me wanna go and repair my old half destroyed (from playing too much as a kid) plastic models from 1990's, polish them up, repaint and put in leds! It looks just about the same except the x-folding feature is manual.🤓
Also, like the music, reminds a lot of MYST, an old old game from the early 90s.

[IRMAOCUSTOMMODELS]

Amazing as always. Great video and great build

[SeanMoran-byron]

Awesome model and instructions! Thank you so very much!

Although R2 was not Biggs Darklighter's astromech, its a great job.

[kyomeka]

Beautiful work! I'm just starting the same kit, could you share details on the spec of the white LED you used to replace the default yellow? I like the idea but worry about using the wrong type of LED.

[firemann]

I think you really nailed it, that is beautiful, thank you for this

[quigonkenny]

They make pink or magenta LEDs? Those would work better in the engines than the red. Great job on the detailing.

[chrismayer]

Can you tell me brand and color that you used for yellow body accents. Your looks great!

[peelscalemodelers]

Love the model. May I ask the specs for the LED that you replaced for the cockpit? Would like to do the same with mine, but don't know what type of LED (voltage? size) should I get?
Thanks

[Habu]

So good! I just wish they’d have included magenta LEDs for the engines instead of red.

[rastanz]

I like what you did with lighting the cockpit and R2 but personally I prefer the original stand as it looks stylish and conforms with the X-wing, the box just looks plain to me perhaps you could've made it into a Deathstar tile, and also not keen on the connector as it looks bulky.
