I am a Lego geek and a Star Wars fan.
Lego keeps making their X-Wing better, and I keep buying the new version.
They're still not quite there, but they're getting SO close.
The scale on the first one was all wrong. The second is better, but disproportionate; correct landing gear height though. The third one is closest in scale and proportions, but the nose seems too stubby and it doesn't park at the correct height. Plus the R2 socket is sideways!
I can fix the gear. I have the parts and technology.
The sharp eye will notice that the 1st gen model is modded. I flipped the bottom wings so that they were mirrors of the top wings; something that Lego didn't do themselves until the 3rd gen. Now that I'm in a Lego'ing mood I might just do the same mod to the gen 2 bird.
Of note, I have a different pilot and astromech droid in each one. Luke and R2-D2 in the first, Biggs and unknown in the second and Porkins and R5-D8 in the third.
