Album info
A really cool project to close 2015. This Bandai kit is a blast. I seldom do snap-tite models but this was a real fresh air from all my scale building project.
I decided that I will paint this and weathered this just so it looks as if it escaped the Death Star. I spend approximately 11 hours in total. the construction went from only about 2 hours. the rest is the painting, weathering and finishing process.
All paints are Tamiya enamels. they 'greys' are a mix blotch of Tamiya XF-20 Medium Grey, XF-21 Sky Grey. while the panelings are provided with decals and stickers, I prefer to paint all of them. The paints are XF-60 Dark Yellow, XF-8 Flat Blue, XF-63 German Grey, XF-7 Flat Red.
Weathering is done by making streaks using thinned XF-1 Flat Black, and dabbing foam (with a bit of a base color).
Some notes:
1. Plastic seems to be a bit brittle. I had three cases where some of wing-mounted laser canon parts cracked. I might have opened or closed it too much during the painting process. may be its just best
