RE: Calling all Stars Wars aficionados
I am a long-time Starwars Fan, and a newcommer to RC. This got me to thinking how cool more of the Star Wars models would be.
I went and checked out the Databank, and came up with a couple of other designs, that may be cool.

[link=http://www.revell.de/starwars/reqRessources/img/produkte/abb_droid.jpg]Droid Tri-Fighter[/link] - It is hard to find a good shot of this one. The Starwars Battlefront II game has a great model. It has 2 lower wings, and a vertical stabalizer. I think you could even put a ducted fan through the middle.

[link=http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/fanbladestarfighter/img/eu_bg.jpg]Fanblade fighter[/link] - I think this is from the Animated Clone Wars saga. (Great shows, if you have not seen them, and are a fan)
[link=http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/nabooroyalstarship/img/movie_bg.jpg]Naboo Royal starship[/link] - From the first movie.
