Hmm looks pretty cool but not very Star Wars accurate.

I like it. Might not get it (probably won't due to space restraints) but I do think the color scheme looks great.

If they do a V-Wing in this scheme, I'll get it for sure. Perhaps a gunship too.

:wink:

It doesn't look bad but I don't collect starfighters.

I think it's okay, but agree - not very SW accurate. I'm done with vehicle repaints, so this is an easy pass.

Why not SW accurate? If they had repainted Venator destroyers and V-wing fighters at the end of ROTS, I imagine they also had repainted ARC-170 fighters.

I agree with Thrawn on this, I can also see what JediJ is saying as well (I think) its not OT Star Wars, however you have to remember that their is a transition period between ROTS and ANH where these could have exsisted along with the Gunships and V-Wing fighters - and to be honest most probably most of the vehicles from the Republic and CIS (I wouldnt be surprised to see CIS equipment used by the Fledgeling Rebels).

I have always wanted to get hold of the Gunship and redo it up in Rebel Colors and make similiar to the Choppers in Vietnam with Endor Rebel Troopers.

If I remember correctly (I might be wrong though), gunships are the biggest starfighters used by the Rebellion in the space battles of SW Battlefront 2 (of course you have to keep in mind that BF2 is ambiguously canon).

And back to the discussion concerning the vehicles used by the Empire, I've always found that some intro videos for TFU were weird. We can see imperial-class star destroyers, TIE fighters, lambda-class shuttles and even stormtroopers whereas the battle (on Kashyyyk) is supposed to happen only one year after the end of ROTS... I would have thought it took more time for the imperials to update the whole army.

There's so much that takes place off screen between ROTS and ANH... I don't think there's any reason to not think there would be ARC fighters with different paint schemes than what we see in ROTS or the Clone Wars.

In the Wii version of TFU there are gunships on Kashyyykk dropping off stormtroopers, can't remember if there is anything else but it did look cool stormies on a gunship.
