Very cool.
Besides from an X-Wing and TIE-X1 do they have anything else? A full size Starfury from B5 would be amazing to see.

Especially as (apart from the cockpit) it existed only as CGI… (AFAIK!) The SA-43 “Hammerhead” from “Space: Above and Beyond” did exist as a full-size item (several were constructed) although I don’t believe any survive. It is believed that sightings of these during transportation initially caused consternation in Russian intelligence circles…

Besides from the starfighter designs, remember that series being not very good. At the time I was playing a lot of Wing Commander and I thought the video scenes being missions were better written and acted. Hey, that game has Mark Hammill and Biff from Back to the Future (I forget the actors name). Very clichéd when I think about it. But that was many years ago since I last saw any of it.
Funny if the Russians did fall for he props. Didn’t something similar happen with that stealth prop from the recent Top Gun?
Edit: I’m probably also remembering the Wing Commander games through rose tinted spectacles. Been nearly 30 years since I saw either!
