These photos were taken in the LucasFilm Archives, and given to me (Kurt Kuhn) by Jason Eaton, whom I believe in turn received them from Mike Verta. Clearly these are photos of the bottom of a studio X-Wing model which is marked as being BLUE 12. Obviously this has red markings and is thought to have been a Pyro model for the Star Wars films. I have been informed of a few modelers that have the top view of this bird, that are planning builds of it so that everyone will finally know what it looks like. Hopefully those who have the top photo will be kind enough to contribute it to everyone in the hobby for better, more accurate builds.

Jason Eaton
Jason Eaton is a model builder who has spent the past fourteen years working with Star Wars license holders including Master Replicas, EFX, and Sideshow, creating paint masters and prototypes for many of the studio scale and scaled props, ships, and characters seen in the Star Wars films, and is honored to continue the work in this new era of Star Wars subjects. He has also performed this service for many other licenses and license holders such as Palisades Toys, Quantum Mechanix, Hollywood Collectibles Group, and Chronicle Collectibles, as well as the occasional private commission work for various private clients. His passion and dedication has sent him to the Skywalker Ranch archives, Tokyo Japan, and many other places, always striving to better the hobby and the work. He’s more of a builder and less of a collector, so sometimes his personal work will “leave the nest” to make way for the next hare-brained project! He also thinks speaking in the third person is weird.
