A-Wing - my first model with an airbrush

[ohbejuan]

Reminds me of how my "Jade Seven" A-wing turned out years ago

I watched that video! Definitely and inspiration

No idea what happened to my A-Wing pilot here. No child or pet has confessed. Fortunately when I put him in the cockpit, you can't see the damage.

Affirmative action at work?

It's not a problem if you can't see it.
Nicely found

Calling it done. The matt varnish needs to finish drying and I need to take some better photos.

That's neat! Where did you get that Death Star tower?

It came with the kit! These Bandai kits all have stands. This one is more elaborate than most.

Excellent finish with this one

Thank you!

Yeah, the tower makes up for the size of the A-Wing, which is still actually bigger than it should be. It justifies keeping the same box size and price amount as the other kits.

Looks really cool! Yea that Bandia plastic is brittle stuff.

trying out a new photo set up. My buddy made me some 3d printed paper holders. The base is too small for anything but a 1/72 model

The XWing has an extra tile, too. It's the thermal exhaust port from the Death Star. The couple of extra tiles these kita have lets you arrange more ships close together in a single scene.

And so is the styrene from the new MPC repops that Round2 is offering! I partially built a Schwinn Continental model that had some parts that didn't fit well and when I drilled holes for the brake levers the handlebar broke in half at that spot!
