This very nicely engineered kit with some very nice features
It is a snap kit, but a few places could benefit from some glue just to keep things tight
Like with most aircraft, you have to start with the cockpit before you can close things up. Figures are very nice quality and pretty good likenesses as well
At 1/72 though, it is hard to paint all those details. I started with grey primer, then did a wash with Army Painter Sith Robes (kind of a dark brownish/black and then did some highlighting. For the sleeves and pants I mixed in a bit more brown. They look a bit messy under the high magnification, but at normal viewing distance are fine. Kind of like some fine art paintings that look like a bunch of dots or a mess of brush strokes when you lean in real close
