Hello,the armature has been modified.Thanks for watching.

 

[jedimaster]

Wow.... That geared armature looks sweet.

 

[moffeaton]

VERY cool. Nice to see that someone has finally added motors the way they more or less did it originally.

 

[-... . .- --..]

WOW, definitely cool Kaoru. I really love what you've done with the hero armature for this model.

What kind of motor did you use?

 

[kh39]

Thanks everyone!

The motors I use are 12mm geard motor.I want to use this size because the
inside of the lower fuselage is very small space.If you use a vac-formed fuselage,you'll get no problem to use lager size of motors like studio model,but as for a resin casting fuselage,I think you'll need small diameter motors.

It took a lot of time to add the moving wings device.I can image how hard it was to design the armature and accomplish it.I really thank Jason for this and reasonable price.

I was just happy to help everyone get them for their X-Wings!

Thanks for the replies everyone.I'm honored.

If you do once,you'll find that it will not that difficult.Now I feel anything is possible.
Next step is controling the motor.Let's do it!

Hi everybody !

I would like to know where i can find the brass tube rod ?
have you a link for me

 

[jedimaster]

Google K&S brass tubing for models. It will give you options closer to yourself.

 

[prop-fighter]

thanks Jedimaster !

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can get these?

By the way,I just found this decal in the airfix messer's box and took a picuture of it next to Jason's decal.Almost the same though.

 

[TheRealMcFly]

I believe those are the female brass electrical contacts. You could make them out of some brass tubing by rounding the end. I'm sorry I do not know where to source an original part in this case. Maybe someone else does.

 

[kh39]

Thank you for the infomation.First of all,I've found this,but is it too small?
Do you know the brand of the heatsinks that are use for studio models?

electric contact, contact rivet ,contact
