This kit is based off the original release from ICONS years ago. Like Captain Cardboards original release (starting the studio scale X-Wing craze as he did) this also has direct lineage, through ICONS, back to an original PYRO studio model used in 1977s Star Wars. The same as Captain Cardboards release either, but a NEWLY CREATED pattern, based on the old ICONS pattern. Artist Mark Worley reworked the ICONS Pattern to be the more prominent version that offers here today. Mark was one of ICONS artists when they were in operation.
He and other artists, as ICONS closed shop, were actually paid with remaining product that ICONS still had in its possession. 20 years later, one of the ICONS artists came across what he was paid, the original X-Wing patterns made by ICONS to release their X-Wing. Mark began on his quest to restore this pattern to be better than the original ICONS released over 20 years ago. Mark re-etched many of the lines, and refurbished the model, then adding more detail that was not known to exist until about 10 years ago. Taking example from what Captain Cardboard achieved in his own re-vamp and release of the studio scale X-Wing, based on the ICONS Pattern, Mark has done so for SithPlanet, in order to bring a small, limited run of this model to eager fans.
A model kit that can be directly traced back to an original Star Wars studio model. If you are familiar with the Captain Cardboard release, please know this kit is not it, and this kit is very different in some ways. The wing blocks are part of the wings of this kit, and it can only be built with the wings in their aggressive opened position.As stated, it is its own pattern that was based on the original ICONS, and is another option to the studio scale X-Wing collectors out there. The base, acrylic case & rod in the finished model picture are NOT part of this kit. The item "Studio Scale X-Wing Resin Kit" is in sale since Sunday, November 12, 2017.
