New Republic Frei Tek E-Wing Starfighter 01

This is my latest MOC the Frei Tek E-Wing Escort Starfighter. This one took a while to build including several engineering issues that forced me to modify two elements in order to finish the cockpit area of the fighter to my liking. As always I built her as close to the EU blueprints as I could. I found said blueprints on Wookieepedia.org for any who do not know what it's suppose to look like.

While never gaining the fame nor diverse fielding of her older cousin the T-65 X-Wing Space Superiority Fighter, the E-Wing was utilized from the Thrawn crisis all the way through the Yhuuzhan Vong war and beyond. Due to the high cost per unit these fighters were usually issued to elite squadrons such as the much famed Rogue Squadron, which still preferred their X-Wings over the new vessel.

A final note. I have joined the ranks of many good and well built E-Wings. I have seen many through out my research of the vessel. The E-Wing in universe is smaller than the X-Wing though this build is in many ways the same size and in others larger. I had to sacrifice this detail in order to maintain my fuselage design and shape. As always there will be several more shots to illustrate this build. Enjoy!
