In May 2011 we started with the concept for a interactive Star Wars Exhibition in Berlin for 2013.
One of our main wishes was a X-Wing Full scale flight simulator.
Before we found the brilliant drawing of Oldman* here, we were very disappointed about the rare photo and drawing material of the original full-scale X-Wing.

We will ask Oldman about his sources ; )
We found in a Auction catalogue of SW items some letters of the company, that built the original full-scale X-Wing and we got in touch with the director of this not more existing workshop.
Here a picture into his workshop in 1976, the photo came from the Making of Star Wars Book of Mr. Rinzler.

He is 81 years old and is living in Germany and was really surprised about our questions and is a great support in our 1:1 project.
Probably someone of the RPF can help us in a few "missing links":
For ESB they built 2 other X-Wings and a Close-ups Cockpit, but were these only Mock-ups?

What happened with these "Mock-ups"?
Is there any picture of the dumped full scale X-Wing?
What happened with the full scale Y-Wing?
And in our research, we found this special offer for 2 Full size X-Wing replica made by one of the craftsmen who worked on the original movie - Star Wars a New Hope.
Full Size X-Wing Replica
X-Wing
Any ideas or pictures?
We would be very happy about every picture of the original or replica full scale photo or story for our later presentation in Berlin.
Thanks for now, we will keep you updated.
