Bandai X-Wing Starfighter

Tom
This has been on my bench for a while. Getting close to the finish. I've been working on the wings mainly: quite a few decals, which are quite thick, and don't like Mr Mark Softer very much. The red colour on some of the decals has run. But I think the overall effect is good. I tore a couple of decals in small places, so I have started marking them up as blaster damage (top of both upper wings) 🙂 The kit comes with duplicate decal sheets: one is a set of stickers, the other is water slide. Also quite a lot of work on the cockpit. I am pretty terrible with detail, but I think it came out ok. Next step is a whole load of panel lines, then finish the build, then scuff it up a bit per reference stills from the movies 🙂 I love these Bandai kits, this one has been fun.

Thx chaps 👍 I'm researching finishes at the moment, some really nice Bandai X-wings to be found around the web. I'm going for that faded, kind of dusty look - presumably space radiation. Probably a lot of dry brushing. I'm collecting my reference shots here: pinterest.com/writ3r77/star-wars/
