ABOUT THE DESIGN

ABOUT THE KIT

Developed by a race of sentient insect-oids, the "Blade Wing" is a wildly asymmetrical but nonetheless awesome heavy fighter.  Featuring a complex gyroscopic system that allows the main cockpit to remain "fixed" while the rest of the craft moves around it, the "Blade Wing" features a wide array of weapons, including ion cannons, three laser cannons, auto-blasters and proton torpedoes. 

Released by Fantastic Plastic Models in July 2007, the "Blade-Wing" was the third in FPM's series of 1:72 "Star Wars" kits.  Mastered by Alfred Wong and cast by Mike Salzo, the kit is currently available via the Fantastic Plastic Virtual Museum Store's On-Line Catalogue.
