Star Wars - Ugly starship Grey Death

thingiverse

This is an ugly starfighter made of X-Wing T65 hull and TIE Interceptor wings. It was requested by Cults3d user, so I kit bashed it for him. It is provided in two forms, separated wings uncut for SLA print and cut for FDM. Parts were taken from Thingiverse free models. I will link the corresponding authors later on. Scale is 1:50, re-scale: to 1:144 - 34.72% to 1:72 - 69.44% to 1:51 - 98.04% to 1:49 - 102.04% to 1:48 - 104.17% to 1:35 - 142.86% to 1:18 - 277.78% to 1:12 - 416.67% The lore part: https://www.starshipmodeler.com/ugly_chal.cfm This Ugly was designated "Grey Death" by the Imperials that survived an encounter with her. It was owned and built by a former A-wing pilot named Darienne Swann who resigned her commission some time after the battle of Endor. Swann was a survivor of Alderaan and joined the rebellion out of a need for vengeance. An expert pilot already she became one of the first A-wing pilots and the blistering fast craft suited her style to a 'T'. After Endor she became disillusioned by the shift in focus the Rebellion went through, no longer attacking Imperial forces and embarking on good will tours to sway more systems to their cause. Her need for vengeance led her resign and fight Imperials her way. She built this vessel for speed and firepower, savaging parts from junk dealers across the galaxy. With an Interceptor's solar panels providing power to its 4 blasters and power to a shield generator, Swann was able to install a dedicated reactor to power the engines. This made for the speeds she was accustomed to flying an A-wing. It also boasted 2 ion blasters and an extra concussion missile launcher. However the ship was terribly difficult to maneuver. All-in-all a deadly package as Imperial convoys were soon to find out as Swann fought her battle her way. Attacking convoys and outposts with hit-and-fade tactics, Grey Death was a concern for Imperial loyalists for years. About the time of Grand Admiral Thrawn's bid for power, reports of Grey Death ceased. Was she destroyed or did Swann give up her need for vengeance and retire? That remains a mystery. An old ERTL snap kit and the foils fron an Action Fleet interceptor provide the parts as they are both approximately in 1/60 scale.
