So what do you do to make an accurate 3D model? What I did was to make a sort of consensus from the best reference material I could find on the web for free. Official good quality blueprints are kinda difficult to find and anyway they are expensive so not everybody can afford them. And there are ways to compensate for some of these problems but it is still somewhat limited in scope. And most photos are at an angle and even those that are taken directly from the models sides, top front or any other perpendicular angle to the ship are affected by perspective and lens distortion and believe me even with the best ones of these there are a lot of things that get out of place. There are lots of photos of the original ship models on the web but most of those are pretty bad and there are some pretty good photos of very high quality prop replica models out there but which one do you trust? Which one is really close to the original models and how much? Many of these photos and the relatively low quality blueprints available out there have a lot of discrepancies in many things.

I really tried a bit hard to get the proportions of the ship and the basic shape right and that is not easy for one particular reason, it is not easy to find good quality blueprints of the ship specially for free.

I always wanted to model an X-Wing and I think that I got the overall shape of the craft well. There are two versions of it in the zip file that you can download at Deviantart, one is like this cause the mesh has been more divided for the coloring and markings (done directly in the mesh) and there is a complete white version with the mesh more clean for texture mapping. As you can see it is only colored somewhat with different materials.
