(...) It is worth noting that at least one X-Wing production model had a corkscrew-type paint job on those two opposing cannons, in the position that the worm gears are placed. It appears on the 6+ foot production model. It's possible they were (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

(...) I think these are minifig-scale[1] anyway, which would be very cool, IMHO. One possible clue to this (that they're minifig-scale and not Technic scale) is that the set numbers are still part of the 71xx range of the LEGO SYSTEM Star Wars sets. (...)
