Any pictures yet, I want to see just how big it is ( and if I can then swap out my smaller one without the other half noticing) !

Haha no chance of that ! I’ll take a few snaps tonight when it’s done.

Dont hold your breath more missing parts

I'll put my final order in tonight to my eBay guy that will be about 15 in total it looks like some are there but the wrong colour.

For my first proper Chinese set ( I did do a Buck Rogers Starfighter moc ) it has been a bit frustrating and will have probably cost me an extra 15 quid in bits when I've done.

Its no so much the cost of the bits because no way would I be able to get this set for less than 300 quid and I will have paid maybe £85 but its the putting it all away and getting it out again.

God knows how many genuine Lego sets ive built over the years but I cant remember a single missing brisk.

Have I just been unlucky or is this just an accepted fact of Chinese sets ?

I've never had a Chinese one missing out of 6 or so sets but I've had 3 genuine sets missing bits in the last few years

Luck of the draw then I guess

Yup Lego's missing part service is decent though so it's not a huge issue

X-Wing missing bits came yesterday superb service from the eBay seller.

Will finish tonight.

It’s bloody huge I remember it half the size I must have been thinking about one of the other X-Wings.

The transfers on the S-Foils are pretty poor with ink smudges.

Any pictures yet, I want to see just how big it is ( and if I can then swap out my smaller one without the other half noticing) !

Here’s a work in progress with an Xbox controller for scale

Variable, "the children's" Hogwarts UCS had half a dozen missing bits nothing really major though.

Nano scale Diagon Alley was perfect.

GT3 in black had a lot missing/wrong colour but seller replaced them eventually.

Cada 919 was perfect.

Bag 3 completed. Princess for scale

Bloody brilliant. Bit fiddly, a few bits missing, lots of left over bits, and quite fragile in places. But wow.

[Narcisus]

That is very cool !

Hi Jersey, that looks excellent, is it. Cobi kit?

[JerseyS2000]

Nope, not a Cobi kit.

Some guys MOC sold as a copy on Aliexpress for £100

All my bits on the way now so hopefully be finished soon !

[Narcisus]

X-Wing finally finished …. It doesn’t really fit … Anywhere ! I was hoping it would take the place if my UCS A-Wing next to my Y-Wing but no chance …

This is the only shelf it will fit on and I’m not sure I can live with it there ….

Moral of story check dimensions before building

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Wall mount it?

[kowalski655]

Impressive! Ive just finished the offical Trench Run kit & the X wing in that would fit in the cockpit of that model!
