Nice, looks really cool as we have come to expect from Brand-X's work. I think it is still in keeping with where it should be stylistically between the ARC Fighter and X-Wing myself, he's managed to nicely marry design touches and sleak lines from the ARC with the original Headhunter design well, and you can see how it will progress into the X-Wing, sure the X-Wing is more blockier in design than this, but that doesn't follow that it'll be less advanced, consider the curvy designs of World War II fighter planes and compare them with the sharp angles of a Stealth F117 for example.

Also like the way he has done two paint schemes, one looks Republic in style with that wing emblem looking like a faded version of the 'Open Circle' armada's emblem (signifying it is part of Obi-Wan and Skywalker's fleet), and the green scheme looks like a Corellian CorSec Force paint job, very nice attention to detail.

Wow that looks amazing, only problem is it looks better/newer than the x-Wing now...

I was checking out the Star Wars: Fate of the Galaxy mod forums earlier today, and it occurred to me that nobody here has posted any pics of the incredible reimagined Z-95 Headhunter done by the same chap who did the *also* jaw dropping reimagined E-wing design, Brand-X. So, I'm here to correct this little discrepancy.

For your viewing pleasure:

I love how he incorporated the slick design aesthetics of the ARC-170. Now it REALLY looks like the X-wing's predecessor. Absolutely gorgeous. I wish he had more pics of the completed model, though. lol
