E-Wing Starfighter 3.75 Star Wars Action Figure Scale

This is a greatly scaled up mod of JeanPatrickLeger's E-Wing for the the X-Wing Miniatures game. You can find that file at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3186891. This model is a WIP, so keep that in mind when printing. I am open to suggestions on changes for better build etc. There are several changes from JeanPatricks model. I used a model which was a static hangar version with an open canopy. I removed the canopy and cleaned the pilot out of the cockpit. Then I had to remove the opaque windows from the canopy. For my prototype I just glued the canopy in the closed position as you can insert your figure "through" the windshield. I also included an exterior astromech slot which will accept most if not all R2 units in 3.75. The fuselage is cut into three sections. Best orientation is to print them all sitting on their front face. The wings should be oriented on their rear edge. I used tree supports for them and they turned out perfect. I would suggest turning down the support infill on the wings to around 10%. As of right now they are set up to be glued straight to fuselage. I haven't messed with pegs for the wings yet. I am planning on it though! On my prototype, I put a self tapping screw through both wings towards the front on the flattest surface. You should be able to see it in the prototype photos. I printed the guns and engines just laying on their bottom surface.
