This is a model of the K-wing Planetary Assualt Bomber, referred to in the Black Fleet Crisis novels.  As far as I know, this is the first visual picture of the K-wing, and I would like it to be recognized as the K-wing Bomber officially by Lucas Industries. If anyone has good contacts with someone at Lucas Film or Lucas Arts send them a copy of this mesh and have them email me back.

Ok, Now with the Technicalities out of the way here's some info about the K-wing.

This 2 man bombers primary purpose is for taking down ground bases and other large targets. To accomplish this it is usually equipped with 2 General Purpose Warhead Launchers and one E.G.G Launcher (Which is just a fancy name for "Really Big FireCracker") and 4 Laser Cannons. Because of the extreme explosive capability of an E.G.G the K-Wing Has 3 engines (It runs at sublight speed on 2 fusion drive units. After an E.G.G is Fired the third engine, a S.L.A.M enabled ION drive unit, is enabled ot get the K-wing outside of the E.G.G's blast radius as soon as possible.)

For Defense it is armed with Particle and Ray Shields.

Its 2 lower wings are adjustable, for landing and atmospheric Flight.

It Also has a Hyperdrive unit as well as a secondary Hyperdrive unit.


Well that's about all I know. There hasn't been much published on the K-wing so far as I said earlier, so about the only thing I'm sure of is the information about the E.G.G and the Warhead Launchers as well as its' designation. The rest I assumed.

The Mesh It self is not super detailed and, If you've downloaded and looked at it yet, the parts with the finer details were borrowed from other models and edited to fit this model. Let me explain. I have never had a CAD class in my life. I found a program called Midnight Modeler on the internet about a year ago and have been experimenting and learning as I went ever since.

Everything I Know about Cad has been self taught. Right Now I use Bcad for just about everything I make and as you've probably noticed with the K-Wing mesh, there are more than 1 primitive shape in use on that model. But I'm still learning and when ever I figure something new out I'll be sure to apply it to the Kwing mesh again.

If you want To Remake this Model with more detail, I would appreciate it if you would keep the same shape and scale on everything I have Created so far and just add detail(e.i. better texture's, more detailed fusealage, dtailed cockpit, Landing Gear, ect...)  

Thanx and be sure to pass this on to Lucas Arts or Lucas Film!
