    Kind of reminds me of the 'dazzle' camouflage from WW2:

    not sure anyone seen this picture as well

    Actual X-Wing fighter used in Star Wars, seen hidden in the backlot at Fox Studios in Sydney.

    Notice the differences in the engine. Interesting...

    It breaks my heart, just reminds me of these Shepperton backlot studio images from 1977. Why don't they just auction them off to collectors and donate the profits to charity?!

    Awww yeah! That's what I'm talking about... I hope they'll find the way to get it closer to the bleak, almost historic visuals of A New Hope. Episode III made a nice try, but it was WAAAY too shinny and pristine in contrast to a movie from 77'.

    I wonder why there's an original X-Wing on the Fox backlot in Sydney - they filmed Episodes II & III there, but there were no X-Wings in either, so could it have just been for promo work? I did a few days work on Ep II back in 2000 and went to a promo day where Artoo did a bungee jump in the 'arena' next to the Hoyts cinema - friends told me there were a couple more publicity dates before Ep II wrapped.

    I thought they were amusing. We are talking about X-Wings. And I mentioned the WWII paint jobs it reminded me of.

    Fair enough but the above post is defenatly fan art which has its own thread & you post was relevant as it points to a more gritty type of paint jobs that the x wings will have in Rogue One. Plus we don't want this to turn in to a X wing fanart thread as we will need it for posting all the lovely photos of R1 x wings when they are ether leaked or released
