Original X-Wing Model from Star Wars: Episode IV!

For an authentic, original filming model, it looks quite a bit like shit.

Can we just call it Star Wars: A New Hope?

You can see brandon get nervous when adam gets close to the model

It comes with free Adam spit 😅

How was it lost for 45 years if 1 year ago you all had your hands-on it......

I wonder how much it sold for...

What a treasure!

Adams hands and arms are swinging very close to that fragile prop. Back away a bit dude.

pew pew pew

In 1977 I was in 8th grade joined the rocket club bought the x wing tighter it looked remarkaly like that model I worked and worked building it decals paint it took 2 ests rocket motors finly the day came i got to launch it only to watch the wind take it away never saw it agin

People forget how iconic star wars universe vehicles are , ucas and his team are not only have a great imagination but creative as FK ,just absolutely love it ,

Painstaking detail!!💖

I swear I am ALWAYS freaked out when Adam starts wildly gesticulating around this super fragile "relics"...

Those are not radar dishes, those are the blaster emitters. You should know that, Adam.

Came from your Star Treck Enterprise video

pure insanity

Crazy you could buy a house for what that's worth.

I want Porkin's X-Wing model. Hero's never die!

This sold at auction for $2,375,000

No B-52 ever had a ball turret. B-24 or B-17 maybe?

Think about how many "views" this "model" has gotten over the past 46 years! Incredible!

SO when I build my BanDai X wing fighter, I can use this as a template.

B-52? He likely meant B-17 or B-29 (or others with large exposed turrets).

B-52s had ball turrets?

This is so Cool! Happy Birthday StarWars

I was lucky to see a few props when they had them at the exploritorium in San Jose CA. They had an x wing about that size, the milanium falcon, a star destroyer, a few costumes including the wampa, anakins pod racer, phantom menace c3po, droidika.

There is an actual 1to1 scale screen used X wing in Smithsonian. Conservators mistook fake battle damage for actual damage to the artifact!

I love that they used what appear to be regular, air-breathing, afterburning F-14 (?) engines for it. Probably from a model kit?

Someone get Adam a pair of bifocals. ;)

Content we'll never see: the various Lego UCS X-wings held up side by side with this.

now that’s a treasure

You need to know plasticmodels, you can make replicas much more realistic than this one!

Incredible. I have so much appreciation for the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into the practical effects of the original trilogy. Love seeing these two geek out over such a special piece!

いずれ国宝指定されるんじゃないかな。

The only design I liked from star wars as a kid.

Somehow, despite reading through various Star Wars encyclopedias/visual guides and watching the original movies dozens of times, this is the first time that I learnt that the X-Wings had their callsign number painted on their wings.

It's intended purpose was to be destroyed but they never imagined it would happen after being stored for 50 years, Adam!

Seems like they replicated it. Even so, I love star wars so I'm not mad.

How Adam didnt knock the model off its stand waving his arms so close to it is a miracle

Hey man..........Silent Running is a great iconic film.

I wasn't really a Mythbusters consumer, nor did I really think AST would hold my interest .. But here I am... And to know his a once ILM employee .. BOOM!
Loving the Content

You forgot thunderbirds
They were the first to use models with a used look

I've loved this series at Prop Store. Adam's enthusiasm for model-making really shines through.

he almost didn't touch it, then at the end lol

Looks like R2 is too big. Not in proportion to Luke
