Well you've tarted it up rather nicely 👍

Thanks James! This was torturing me for a long time when I got back into the hobby - screaming to be redone properly. What was supposed to be a "quick" touch up and repaint ended up taking a lot longer than I anticipated. I've since purchased a second kit and plan to tart the up a lot more with LEDs.

So many kits, so few weekends….

Ha, I know what you mean. The 'Kits to available days' ratio is heavily leaning towards the plastic stuff 🙂

Album info

For its time,, the MPC X-Wing was the best kit you could get for that scale. It was reasonably accurate on the outside ('though some purists may disagree) - but the interior cockpit was…. Crap. I built this over 10 years back when I thought rattle can painting was adequate - and before I knew that X-wings were BOT Dark Gull gray! So it was time to deconstruct it, fix the obvious gaps and ugly seam lines, fix the toy cockpit and make it look like a real X-wing!

This was one of my earlier re-builds since I got back into the hobby - so the scribing wasn't all that good, but I learned a lot from fixing this kit that I was able to apply to the subsequent builds.
