Rogue Squadron B-Wing Heavy Assault Starfighter. A bit more painting and weathering done today. Quite pleased how differ...
projekt: 1/72 Bandai B-Wing Starfighter.

Ian DoodyNext 1/72 Bandai Star Wars kit, B-Wing. Think I want this to be different to the movie one, so possibly Green or Blue Squadron, or something else, not sure. Just snapped most of it together, to get a clue about sub assemblies, and where the paints going. The Sullustian Pilot is teeny tiny, eeny weenie.
19 May 2023, 17:28
Gareth LloydNice 😎
Green squadron is a good one to go for, I've made one of those. The grey blue and light grey stripes front and back are good masking practice😊and gives plenty of weathering options.
19 May 2023, 17:46
TreehuggerI think maybe this is the special edition, with the alternative pilot figure.
19 May 2023, 18:25
Gareth Lloyd@Treehugger, I'm guessing you mean from the top of the cockpit to the big cannons at the 'bottom'? Although it can fly in pretty much any orientation.
Quick measurement on My Bandai ones gives roughly 24cm (9.45 inch)

Ian DoodyB-Wing Cockpit and the Galaxies smallest Sullustan Pilot, Bien Numb. Looks like I'm going for Orange Squadron with this one. It's amazing he is painted at all, 1/72 really is too small for me now.
20 May 2023, 19:36
Ian DoodyThat's it for today, I'm going in a totally different direction to the boxart version. Thinking Brown Two lol 😆 or a member of Orange Squadron. I'll see where I end up.
21 May 2023, 15:58
Ian DoodyNot much done on this recently, as I've not been in the mood. A very long way still to go, just blocking in basic colours still. But, it does look like a B-Wing.
23 May 2023, 15:55
Gareth LloydLooking for inspiration? This was mine : [img1] (still trying to push you towards a Green Squadron 😉 )
24 May 2023, 18:07
Ian DoodyFor the moment, this project is now on hold, until inspiration hits me again. At a future point, I'll pick it back up and finish it. But for now I have to get back to my F1 kits.

Ian Doody1/90ish Bandai Slayn & Korpil A/SF-01B B-Wing Heavy Assault Starfighter. End of day one. So far, so cool. New lighting, and brand new painting chair, seem to be working together. Really like the direction this one's going. "Orange 5" Rogue Squadron.
12 February, 17:20
Ian DoodyCockpit almost done. Definitely liking this one, a lot more interesting than the movie version. This is one knackered B-Wing.
13 February, 13:21
Ian DoodyThat's it for another day. Fitted the sensor pods to the neck engine area. Looking nice so far.
13 February, 15:35
Ian Doody@Freak it's just washes, lots of watered down washes, hand painted scratches, and chips, smudged hobby paint. mushed together.
13 February, 19:01
Ian DoodyEngines done on the Bandai B-Wing. And making a start on the lower wing body. Trying to make it look like it's had a few parts replaced from other ships, and has seen a fair few battles. A veterans ship, kept going with whatever the crew chief can get her hands on.
14 February, 22:48
Ian DoodyThis is the last post for the next two weeks on the B, work will continue, and I'll finish it up after my Birthday, probably first week of March. Just blocking in colours and weathering with washes as I go. Then I'll go back over it with chips, and finally add decals and ID markings.
18 February, 02:52
Jennifer FranklinHappy Birthday
Your modeling work is looking good. Look forward to your return.
18 February, 03:35
CaptGPFHappy birthday! Now get back to that B-Wing! 😜
Kidding aside, may you have many more years doing what you love.
18 February, 17:40
Ian DoodyWIP, 1/72 Bandai B-Wing Heavy Assault Starfighter, painting it as a member of Rogue Squadron. Bored of creamy grey Star Wars stuff. Adding paint that I think makes it interesting to look at, so breaking up large areas with scuffs, scratches and mud splats, rust patches. This is all basic areas, I'll add the Squadron markings eventually.
25 June, 16:58
Ian DoodyRogue Squadron B-Wing Heavy Assault Starfighter. A bit more painting and weathering done today. Quite pleased how different it looks to the stock B. More to come, have the main lower wing area to do, then weapons, then Squadron ID markings.

1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat. 
1:32
Right, well that's that for a while, going to be taking a break from this for a bit. It's going in the right direction, ...
projekt: Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat
22 2 August, 14:09
Ian DoodyMade a start on the 1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat, I'm having my wings permanently folded, this is just all dry fitted so far, I'll add more detail later when the wing is added. No point cleaning up the inside part of the wing of ejection holes, as this will be hidden behind the wing. Think it looks ok so far.
2 August, 14:11
Ian DoodySo today I've semi painted up the other sides wing root fold system. And started dry fitting the engine. Need to pick a scheme from the Techmod decals at some point, thinking of 1 or 4 so far.
2 August, 14:19
Ian DoodyOoh landing gear and engine support structure. Just needs a few touchups, thats it done for now, have to glue it all up straight away, doing it later would be a pain in the ass. Looks ok, I'm no expert on these things. Just for fun build in-between other stuff.
8 August, 12:51
Ian DoodyI think, as an engine that'll do really, don't need anymore detail on it. Couldn't see it if it was there anyway. I'll paint the rear bank of cylinders, but that's probably it.
9 August, 13:43
Ian DoodyThat's all for today, making the most of what you get in the kit, only added bits of wire, no sense going mad with detailing parts you wont see. Prop tomorrow, finish the rear bank of Cylinders, and make a start on the cockpit. Looking nice so far, looks like an engine to me.
9 August, 13:43
Ian DoodyEngine, exhaust manifold system and front bulkhead done. For what you can see, the kit parts are good enough. No point spending lots of money on a resin engine. Just some wire and a bit of paint.
10 August, 14:05
Ian DoodyThat's it for today, don't think I can handle seatbelts as well. So far so good, looks like a cockpit, when it's in the plane, you won't see anything. I tarted up the kit seat, as I couldn't stomach making the PE eduard one.
11 August, 19:54
Ian DoodySo I can do seat belts, but I hate doing seatbelts, not brilliant, but for all you'll see, it'll do me. My fear of PE is lessening, I'm getting a bit more confident each time, next the top straps. Then I can tackle the joining of the fuselage halves together, which is tricky on the 1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat, as a few parts need extra sanding to fit. Looks ok to me so far.
13 August, 11:00
Ian DoodySeatbelts done, that'll do. With my eyesight it'll look amazing from far away lol 😆 but for me, as a learning exercise, looks fine. I would wholeheartedly recommend HGW Laser seatbelts, they make it a lot easier.
13 August, 13:09
Ian DoodyTomorrow I'll make a start on the Empennage and getting everything to fit. I'm not using any of the PE hinges either. Then wings.
13 August, 18:29
Ian DoodyHmm, this is going to be interesting. As usual no idea what I'm doing, just riding by the seat of my pants. I'll try and block in all the colours then look into weathering. Who knows how this'll look.
30 August, 14:06
Ian DoodyWell, it's blueish grey now, or greyish blue. Because I'm a cantankerous stubborn fool, I paint everything with brushes, Main colours blocked in, teeny tiny fiddly bits added, now I've just got to build some more layers up, start lightening and shading areas. It won't be brilliant, but it may look good on my shelf. Which is the main thing, due to lack of space, pretty much all the aircraft I'm going to build will have folded wings.
31 August, 19:44
Mr DVery nice, the wing internal colour looks spot on👌, l tried mixing this colour but struggled to get right tone.
Nice looking kit, what do you make of the Trumpeter kits??
Good luck with the next steps 👍👍
31 August, 21:02
Ian DoodyHello Mr D, so far I've only looked at early Trumpeter kits, panel lines are a bit too light for me, the early ones have gimmicks like working wing folds, and the PE hinges, but they build up quite well, and to me look like what it says on the box. I've got a lot more Trumpeter and Hobby Boss kits to build up in the future.
31 August, 21:17
Ian DoodyAs is my usual way, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, just going with the flow, it seems to want to be like this.
A very, very long way to go still, it'll be a lot lighter than it is now, and not so stark. I know, I shouldn't weather it until later, but i can't help it, it's a curse.
2 September, 16:23
Mr DIt's a cracking looking model 👍👍
The weathering is looking good nice balance.
The internal metal parts ....the yellow/green..Did you mix or have the colour ready in a bottle
2 September, 17:14
Ian DoodyMr D, the green is just mixed up as and when I need it, it's just a caramel mixed with green paint.
2 September, 17:20
Mr DThanks Ian, good to know...l tried mixing from yellow n green but didnt look right.
Cheers 👍👍
3 September, 16:11
JohnMr D, try black and yellow. It sounds strange but it works. The more yellow, the more like yellow zinc chromate it looks. More black gives you the OD version.
3 September, 16:28
Ian DoodyRight, well that's that for a while, going to be taking a break from this for a bit. It's going in the right direction, but it's turning into a long term project, I'll come back to it in a few months time with fresh eyes.

Milos CHi mate,
do you still offer this model M113 FItter?
Can you sand me some actual photos of your model - how it looks like - sprue, box, decals... It is old model.
And post costs to Czech rep. and/or to some box to Zittau (GER).
Thank you

TreehuggerBtw, there are two tiny thingies at both end of the big wings. These are nav lights of sorts. Red on the left side, and blue on the right side, according to some paint chart I've seen recently.
14 August 2021, 20:06
NeilHi Treehugger ? kind of you to offer advice... Excellent build help indeed. Thanks for the tip ?
14 August 2021, 20:14
Robert PodkońskiViggen in yellow and blue!!! I love it! Watching with pleasure, Neil.

NeilHi all 🙂 I've finally got around to taking 'reveal' pictures for many of my previous build albums. I shall be updating each and including a few build notes in the description too - especially on the bits I messed up!
Here is my version of that 'Blu Petter' kit for the Airfix Saab Viggen completed in 2021. Excuses alert! It wasn't the best fitting kit, being an earlier Airfix effort.
Thanks to all who showed interest and liked, it's greatly appreciated 👍
16 February, 15:48
NeilHi Gary, Daniel and CaptGPF, thanks very much mates. Really appreciate you talented bunch commenting. I too love the kit colour scheme on this one and with hindsight; and an acceptance of some kit flaws, in my opinion it builds up into a pretty decent kit for an older Airfix one 👍 Thanks also to all those who've liked my efforts here too 🙂
