X-Wing "Red 4" - The armature & mechanism
Red 4 (labelled as "Blue 4" on production pics) is, with Red 12 (Blue 12), the only ones X-Winsg with a yellow built for ANH. That's why it's very special. Another unique feature of Red 4 is it's R4 unit instead of the R2 units.
While this one was a pyro model, it was painted with great attention (even better than some hero models), with several decals. I was lucky enough to find the original decal sheet they used for this one.
