Good masking job, but I went a different way. Good practice.

First time using Stynylrez Water-base, flat black Primer.. I have a lot to say.. but It’s really Awesome!
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/1/8/9/929189-61283-65-720.jpg)
This is supposed to be flat black? Looks more like gun metal to me.. That’s really cool but not what I expected.. Look at the amazing contrast..

I have an idea to use the stickers from another X-wing kit as pre-cut masks to do the stripes..

Progress report photos help me think about what to do.

I was hung up at this point for awhile. My First idea was to mask the orange and paint black around it, but that proved to be difficult, so I decided to go all black, and try and recreate the orange and stripes later.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/7/8/0/932780-61283-72-720.jpg)
At first I wanted to keep the Orange stripe and work with making the rest black, but only because I was mesmerized, and having trouble comprehending and matching that specific perfect orange until.. I felt a disturbance in the Force, and decided to try and do something original.

Masking is a skill which requires lots of practice

Stynlrez primer...Lays down like silk. The Carbonite freezing process was successful.

It changes colors depending on the light source

Progress report. I’m really liking it in all black. Something tells me maybe it’s a stealth prototype.. 🤔

Jedi meditation exercise with knife, tape, brush, and paint..

Another meditation exercise with the Knife, tape, and the mysterious masking fluid..
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/1/7/9/939179-61283-55-720.jpg)
I had to repeat this step 12 times, because I failed 4 times in a row previously because the tape kept peeling up the paint. After the 3rd round, I grabbed a silver Sharpie, and then cleaned up with a brush.. The lesson is this approach was overkill and unnecessary.

First date with Stynylrez Primer went extremely well, and I almost scored, except I was surprised when She turned out to be........Gun Metal.. 😮

Progress report: Stynylrez primer has exceeded my expectations and has performed beautifully. I love the way she looks all in black, before any markings. Maybe it's a stealth prototype.. 🤔

Looking awesome JD, that black is great. Prototype is a nice idea, maybe with some coded markings? Great mug 👍

I guess coded wasn't a good word, I was thinking some alien glyphs in a Predator kind of way 🙂 Nice design in pic 10 👍

Ooo, now I have an idea.. lookup the various Rebel Alliance symbols and cast your vote! I already know the one that I think most represents this prototype ship..can you guess?

There is only one known pre production prototype of the Incom T-70 X-wing Starfighter, and here it is. Hope you all enjoy it! 😄 JD

Thanks a lot everyone! By the way, when you press down on Bb-8 he talks, press again and you hear the engines roar, and laser blast sounds!
