XB-7 Airspeeder

Produced by Narglatch AirTech, the XB-7 was very popular among the wealthier citizens of Coruscant, who wanted a high performance, customizable airspeeder. Giving plenty of opportunities for modification, the speeder was perfect for young, reckless, rich kids or boastful, recently elected senators with a certain need for speed. Despite its bulky appearance, the speeder was capable of high speed and acceleration, due to its oversized engines and state of the art power converters. It was especially acclaimed for the homage to older models, woven into its design in form of the chrome power converters on the side and signature headlights. Selling out as quickly as umbrellas on Kamino, this model paved the way for Narglatch AirTech’s growth and later became known as the predecessor of the models XJ-6 and XJ-2, used by Anakin Skywalker and Bail Organa.

Since it will soon make it last appearance in Uncertain Ways, I figured this would be the perfect time to give you all a proper, closer look at this speeder in undamaged form. While it remains one of my favorite creations of mine, this model was in fact created in 2015 already. Until this day, I can’t really figure out how I managed to build it and I doubt that I could recreate it from scratch. I hope you like it as much as I do. As for Uncertain Ways, a new part is in the works and there is also something very special related to it I’d like to share with you soon. So, stay tuned!
