No extra pieces are required, using 75301. Instructions are available on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-1539...

A Big Thank you to Justin from ‪@EckhartsLadder‬ for doing videos on E-Wing and noticing it's going to be in the Ahsoka series.
   • The Incredible Fighter that replaced ...  
   • Is Disney finally learning?  

I was very excited that “Ahsoka” trailers showed the E-Wing, finally bringing the fighter to Star Wars Canon. I like the changes made to the E-Wing, there is no more laser cannon mounted on top of the cockpit, which will never happen in real life. In its place now comes an open astromech socket like the X-Wing.

The nose of the E-Wing is made shorter. The astromech socket is lowered by 2 plates, making R2-D2’s position not so elevated like the official set. Small adjustments were made to the technic mechanism for the slanted wings. I tried to create an impression of the winglets using sloped pieces and mounted the 2 laser cannons on the tips.

Thanks to the technic mechanism, the E-Wing can rest on the engines with the wings flattened, I had enough pieces to build a small stand for the E-Wing to be mounted on to show its slanted wings.

It's great to see LEGO is releasing the 75364 New Republic E-Wing™ vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter™, this MOC will complement the set.
