B-Wing Studio Scale

[gboy1801]

After verification, I think about a wing of B52 because the inclination is more important.
What do you think?

Magoscher is right there is no kit for the main wing, some kits approximate the shapes but none exactly.

 

[gboy1801]

I'm not so sure.

 

[Magoscher]

And now that I have wings in my hands, I think I've found the origin of other parts.
These, for example.

I am pretty sure this is the beginning of the wing, the part that normally starts at the plane fuselage.
We have the same part twice, with the same shape, but the one on the side of the cockpit seems less broad.Normal, to get the big wing, we used both extrados and for this part we used the two intrados.
I'll check my theory on Sunday.

Good theory, buddy, but forget the wing of the B-36, you can trust what I tell you, because the aerodynamic shape is completely different from the original Bwing and in addition, the modeler Bill George who built the two B-wings for the shoot from ROTJ already said that the main wing of the B-wing was built from scratch, however, the best reference we have today to make an identical wing, is based on the Bandai B-wing 1/72 kit, as it is perfect as it was scanned from the B-wing blue ...
I am showing some pictures of my resin kit from FM Models, where the author of this kit was at ILM and made measurements from the B-wing orange to form the resin kit and then you can see some differences ...
On the other hand, I want to tell you that the guys on the internet on various sites out there are like chickens that accompany ducks and drown, because at least as far as I know, I was the first in the world to use a B 36 wing to make one B-wing and so, apparently, many want to follow my mistake, although at least the great connoisseurs of Studio Scale are already bald in the knowledge that the B-36 does not donate parts to B-wing, and even then my wrong construction occurred about 14 years ago and in less than two months, I had already canceled the project, because I realized I had destroyed another kit ...
I leave my tips and willingness to help with my 90% knowledge about this model when you want ...
And here's the proof of my crime:

Hello,


This is bad news. You just destroyed all my hopes in a few lines. Especially as I have already bought or ordered some kits.
You seemed to be in the right direction.
What was wrong ?

Well, at least you won't make the same mistake as me and now you have a chance to build a perfect model ...
As I said that my construction was about 14 years ago and I still didn't know much about B-wing and I really thought that the B36's wings were the correct parts that even fits perfectly in side profile but unfortunately the aerodynamics are not the same and then inaccurate, so I decided to stop the project and at the moment I am building a new B-wing very slowly but it will be perfect and better than the resin kit that exists on the market today that although very well done there are still some small errors that I don't like ...

 

[swgeek]

Like gboy1801 says, Hasegawa 1/32 F-16. I didn't see anything else in the kit that contributes to the B-Wing but I could be wrong.

Hey Magoscher,

Just to let you know Guy Cowen shared the Hasegawa F16A engine part info with gboy1801 specifically to post here on the RPF for you. And just so you also know, it also provides parts fro the wing gun besides the engine bells.

[swgeek]

So thanks to Guy Cowen for the F-16 apparently.
and...

Ooh thank you so much Marvim !!!
Very good to know about the generosity go Gui Cowen ... I had never seen that photo before but I recognized his work immediately because I had seen those pieces in different photos and I know that he identified all of them and even shared with me too .. .
Please thank him for me again ...
And in the opportunity ask Gui also to clarify to gboy1801 about what Bill George told him about the main wing of the B-wing being a scratch construction since they are friends ...
Big hug!!!

 

[marvin]

Well there isn’t much more to explain beyond what you did. From the shape it is clear it is a vac form. And George has indicated the same in private conversations.

I’ll relay your thanks to Guy.

 

[gboy1801]

I have a question that has nothing to do with the subject that we are interested in.
Why was Guy Cowen banished?

 

[marvin]

Guy left by choice.

 

[gboy1801]

Thank you .

 

[motero96]

There is less ...

 

[Flixen]

Probably old news but that part is Mörser Karl too.

I know where that veined part above the hasegawa name came from. Same greeblie seen on the ROTJ y ing helemt. Although you guys prob already know.....
