B-Wing starfighter 1:50 Parallel

After several trial (read fails) I'm taking a headstrong on paper models once again. This time it's a B-Wing (Star Wars) designed by one of ukrainian enthusiats.

Technical data:

Manufacturer - Slayn & Korpil
Length - 16.9 m
Speed/drive - 60 MGLT (hyper mode); 950 kmph atmosphere; Slayn & Korpil class II hyperdrive HYd-997
Pilots - single
Effective load capacity - 45 kg
Weapon systems:
1 Gyrhill R-9X laser turret;
1 Gyrhill 72 dual blaster;
3 ArMek SW-7a ion cannon;
2 Krupx MG9 ion torpedo launcher;
Defense:
Slayn & Korpil 125 SBD shield generator;
titanium reinforced armor (60 RU).

Model comes as 11 A4 170-190 gsm color print + 2 60-70 gsm color print + 1 60-70 gsm B/W print; 9 A4 pages of 3D assembly + 1.5 pages of instruction (russian). Not too much of extra colored paper (about 4x4 inch)

Quality of print is outstanding as well as paper.

Only downside is that model is designed to be assembled/disassembled dry (like LEGO woot!) so build depends a lot on quality of cutting, cardboard selection (0.5 and 1 mm) for reinforcement and clean fitment of glued parts.

NB: this scratch-built won gold medal and Cup for "Best model" @ III Open Kiev card model Cup.


I have started this build yesterday after about 6 week delivery wait (ouch..). Beforehand sparingly sprayed colored pages from front side with matte fixativ (for pencil/charcoal drawings).

Will post first pictures tonight, so far excellent fit for parts, somewhat tricky assembly.
