WIP - LEGO Star Wars FT-7b Clarion

Description

EDIT: Made some improvements to the nose and changed the canopy color to dark metallic.

This is my first crude attempt at recreating the FT-8 Star Guard strike fighter from Star Wars:The Old Republic; or rather the expansion, Galactic Starfighter. This ship, as far as I can tell, is the 3,000 year old precursor to the X-Wing. If I ever get to play The Old Republic, this will be the ship for me.

If I never get to play The Old Republic, I'm hoping this ship will at least appear in the next Star Wars: Battlefront. My biggest hope for the next Battlefront game is the inclusion of The Old Republic Era, and the space battles that'll come with it; which means I might get to take this for a spin.

Now, anybody who's actually played the game will see exactly where I screwed up with this. I got lazy and pulled the nose off the 9493 X-Wing Starfighter, and modified it to look like the FT-8. So, it's not completely accurate to the game. Give me some time, and maybe I'll figure out how to make it look right. Hence, why I labeled this as a Work-In-Progress.

BTW, I'm curious... for those who've actually played the Galactic Starfighter expansion, what does it take to build this variant of the FT-8 in-game? I've never even seen anyone flying the four-engine, six-wing variant with all the upgrades in any of the gameplay videos I've seen; except for a brief glimpse in the first trailer.

that basically looks like a cross between a ARC-170 and a X-WING
