K-wing Attack Bomber

3D ModelNoAI

My take on Star Wars’ Expanded Universe’s K-Wing bomber, designed for a post New Jedi Order era where new designs were created in the wake of an almost galaxy ending war. Like my earlier E-wing, I was aiming for a cleaner and modern design while still having echos of the original Star Wars designs.
I made the design sleeker, to infer a more thoughtfully designed craft. The angled wings and reduced panelling was inspired by modern stealth aircraft, as was the majority of the matte paint scheme. I kept the 3 engine design, to continue implying the ship is both fast and heavy, while an additional turret was placed at the rear of the craft due to the large blind spot that the 3rd engine made while also harkening back to World War 2 bomber designs. I also tried a hybrid approach to the wing mounted weapons of the original design, and the internal launchers of the original Star Wars
