Red Squadron X-Wing Starfighters
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/5/7/4/1740574-118962-87-720.jpg)
Started by assembling the wings for both sizes and primed with Mig One-Shot Grey.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/5/7/5/1740575-118962-45-720.jpg)
Base coated with White-Grey. 1:144 engine exhausts and the intakes on all of them painted Anthracite Grey
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/9/9/2/1740992-118962-72-720.jpg)
Wings glossed and ready for Decals staring with the small one first
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/9/9/3/1740993-118962-96-720.jpg)
Half the wing decals done on the 1:144 X-Wing
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/3/3/3/1741333-118962-55-720.jpg)
And the other half done
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/2/6/4/1742264-118962-73-720.jpg)
1/72 wings glossed and ready for decals
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/2/6/5/1742265-118962-39-720.jpg)
One half of the wing decals done on the 1/72. There are no Yellow decals for the underside of the wings on the 1/144 kit so I probably need to paint those in as I like how they look on the bigger one.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/2/5/8/1746258-118962-68-720.jpg)
Wing decals complete. Did a bit of masking on the small ones and sprayed with a 50/50 mix of medium yellow and white to match the big ones.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/2/5/9/1746259-118962-60-720.jpg)
And the other side
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/5/5/7/1746557-118962-22-720.jpg)
Wings gloss coated over the decals and then drybrushed with Abteilung Smoke oil paints. They need a few days to dry now.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/0/4/8/1747048-118962-54-720.jpg)
Bit of detail painting on the pilot and had a go with one of the R2 heads at hand painting it. Could be better, lets see what the decal one looks like before I decide whether to use it
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/0/4/9/1747049-118962-42-720.jpg)
Cockpit decalled and assembled with some more detail painting to go unter the droid strip.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/0/5/0/1747050-118962-10-720.jpg)
Assembled sections and primed with one shot grey - the 1/72 one. Masked the inside of the canopy to protect the cockpit.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/0/5/1/1747051-118962-28-720.jpg)
Assembled sections and primed with one shot grey - the 1/144 one
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/0/5/1/1748051-118962-51-720.jpg)
1/72 X-Wing base coated with White Grey
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/0/5/2/1748052-118962-77-720.jpg)
1/144 X-Wing base coated with White Grey
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/0/5/3/1748053-118962-68-720.jpg)
Masked off the 1/72 one for the Red stripe up the sides. Here's one side
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/0/5/4/1748054-118962-99-720.jpg)
and the other side.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/0/5/5/1748055-118962-89-720.jpg)
Red striped painted with Fire Red, one side
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/0/5/6/1748056-118962-85-720.jpg)
and the other side
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/0/5/7/1748057-118962-63-720.jpg)
Both canopies got some liquid mask chipping added with a sharp cocktail stick
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/0/5/8/1748058-118962-70-720.jpg)
Canopies sprayed Blue Grey
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/0/5/9/1748059-118962-85-720.jpg)
Chipping fluid removed and the windows painted black on the 1/44 one.
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/0/6/0/1748060-118962-94-720.jpg)
Oil paints are now dry on the wings so they get a coat of matt varnish.
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/9/9/6/1748996-118962-65-720.jpg)
The decals on the R2 droid head didn't turn out very well so I'm definately looking at using a painted head of either the R2 or R5
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/9/9/7/1748997-118962-92-720.jpg)
With bodies painted in the same colour, I'm leaning towards the R5 head
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/6/2/2/1749622-118962-95-720.jpg)
Decals done and ready for another gloss coat then oil paint to make them dirty.
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/1/3/3/1750133-118962-36-720.jpg)
All the pieces get a Smoke Oil paint drybrush. Need to leave that a few days to dry.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/2/7/0/1751270-118962-81-720.jpg)
Oils are dry so after a coat of Matt varnish the 1/144 one is ready for assembly.
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/2/7/1/1751271-118962-15-720.jpg)
and so is the 1/72 one.
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/2/7/2/1751272-118962-87-720.jpg)
The small one is assembled and put on it's stand.
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/2/7/3/1751273-118962-27-720.jpg)
and so is it's "big brother".
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/2/7/4/1751274-118962-42-720.jpg)
Both complete. I'll take a nice 360 against a plain background tomorrow when the light is better.
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/6/0/6/1751606-118962-45-720.jpg)
