TX-65D Trainer / Double Seater  X-wing fighter, Revell box, scale 1:112,hand brush painted and bad photos again.....
My version  :wacko: :angel: of the original concept from this link:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TX-65_X-wing_starfighter
"....  This is a TX-65 primary trainer. The X-wing may no longer be on the Fleet's frontlines, but every pilot in the Fleet took his first one hundred hours in one of these, and every new pilot probably will in the years to come." ―Admiral Gial Ackbar, speaking to Plat Mallar on the TX-65 X-wing.
The TX-65 X-wing starfighter, more commonly known as the Trainer-X, was a starfighter in the service of the New Republic and was the primary starfighter used for educating trainees. The TX-65 X-wing starfighter was in the service of the New Republic by the time of the Black Fleet Crisis, approximately 16–17 ABY. All pilot trainees had to fly on a TX-65 X-wing before being rated to fly a T-65 X-wing or before advancing to training in flying an E-wing escort starfighter.  ....."

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Shouldn't it have space for a second R2 as well? Or do they get 'trained' when they're built?  ;D ;)

Excellent.
Like a lot of RW trainer conversions it looks slightly awkward.  Good job.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I think quite a few 2-seaters look better than their single seat originals, the Su-27 and Mirage F1 being cases in point.

On the other hand, some 2-seaters, like the Typhoon and the Su-25, look DIABOLOCAL!
