Looks like some hard work.

Maybe you should disassemble it before you start to clean it.

Good luck :wink:

Disassemble! Too scary for me

Just patience and a toothbrush for now it's mainly dust and spiders webs
Ill post pic before and after once done just to see how it looks

Nice box

I have disassemble a few of the first x-wings and repaired some engines on them. I think it is nearly the same with this x-wing.

But if you do not need to disassemble it then it is great, I don't think there is any engine inside that x-wing you have

i tried too take apart an x-wing once.......nightmare putting back i got so annoyed with i threw it up against the wall. :lol: i regretted after

Zero confidence with anything like that so def not taking it apart just clean and spruce up job

Been trawling eBay looking for loose ROTJ figs and jawas it's a bloody minefield
Just going to keep an eye on here
Saw a thread the other day where "beaters" were up for peanuts and I missed
They were really nice for someone like me so I will keep an eye out
Not sure on the terminology beaters, baggies etc. but I will learn I'm in the best place to do so

TBH that box isn't in too bad shape. If you look in the reference forum you will find info on how to improve the condition - it is a pretty easy fix too.

Taking the ship apart is pretty simple (sorry Ponchbelt!) if you don't mess with the wings them, you shouldn't have any problems.

Cheers I will check the ref forum out on the box tips

Thanks
