曾經(jīng)被認(rèn)為消失了40多年的電影史上最具標(biāo)志性的模特之一終于被找到了。為《星球大戰(zhàn)》中與死星的最后一戰(zhàn)制作了四個(gè)x翼英雄模型——詳細(xì)的、大尺寸的特寫模型。紅色一號(hào)的1:24比例模型，由加文·德雷斯駕駛，被認(rèn)為已經(jīng)丟失，直到它在好萊塢模型制造商格雷格·吉恩的收藏中重新出現(xiàn)。該模型的兩個(gè)頂部s型箔背面的紅色條紋可以識(shí)別出它的身份，它扮演了紅色領(lǐng)袖、韋奇的紅色2號(hào)和盧克·天行者的紅色5號(hào)。該模型為四個(gè)安裝在機(jī)翼上的大炮和控制機(jī)翼位置的伺服器提供照明，從閉合位置移動(dòng)到x位置。據(jù)信，在1978年《新希望》上映后不久，盧卡斯電影公司從圣費(fèi)爾南多谷搬到舊金山灣區(qū)時(shí)，這架x翼飛機(jī)失蹤了。據(jù)信，只有一架x翼飛機(jī)的英雄模型幸存下來:電影中由比格斯·Darklighter駕駛的紅色三號(hào)。該模型將于10月通過Heritage Auctions拍賣公司拍賣。

once thought lost for over 40 years, one of the most iconic models in cinema history has been found. Four X-wing hero models -- detailed, large-scale models for close-ups -- were made for the final battle against the Death Star in Star Wars. The 1:24 scale model for Red One, flown by Garvin Dreis, was presumed lost until it resurfaced in the collection of Hollywood model maker Greg Jein. Identified by the red stripes at the back of its two top s-foils, the model played the roles of Red Leader, Wedge's Red Two, and Luke Skywalker's Red Five. The model has lights for its four wing-mounted cannons and servos that control the position of the wings, moving from closed to the x position. Believed lost during Lucasfilm's move from the San Fernando Valley to the San Francisco Bay Area not long after the release of A New Hope in 1978, it is believed that only one other X-wing hero model is known to have survived: Red Three, flown by Biggs Darklighter in the film. The model goes to auction via Heritage Auctions in October.
