The top two wings of the fighter are both painted with a single red stripe, identifying it as the squadron's 'Red Leader.'

A long-lost model of an X-wing fighter used in the original 1977 'Star Wars' movie sold at auction for over $3.13 million on Sunday.Used in the filming of the final battle in 'Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope' as the Rebel Alliance fight the Empire above the Death Star, the model represented 'the pinnacle of Star Wars artifacts to ever reach the market,' Dallas-based auction house Heritage Auctions said ahead of the sale.

Several 'pyro' models were also built according to a much simpler design, which could then be blown up, while the four “hero” models featured intricate painting, wings that spread open into “Attack Position,” a miniature pilot, internal wiring to power lights inside the spaceship as well as minute details such as blast marks and heat-scorching around exhaust nozzles.
