Bandai A Wing
Building 4 of these at once so...here goes!!
Primed with Alclad white. Canopies in gloss black.
Red parts masked and sprayed (main bodies still to do).
My own mix for the red. Hull red lightened with white then a touch of red to stop it just becoming a light brown. It's pretty close to the provided "stickers"
Random panels masked and sprayed red and light grey to make all 4 slightly different.
Masks off. Red centre section to mask next.
Gun tips dipped in the red mix.
Second round of masking for the main red centre sections.
Panel line wash with Humbrol Blue Grey.

Knew someone would ask that. I have no earthly idea. All I can say is, why not!!

Whooo... I've got a bunch of these little kits. Watching how you do it will be a big help!😉

uhm... <blush> all of them. 😄
They don't have a scale assigned, but I think that's just because the Millennium Falcon and the Star Destroyer are non-scale entries. I think all the rest are 1/144. I snapped together those two kits, but I'm planning to take my time with the others... and perhaps add a 1/144 Falcon to the group at some point. At the moment there are 10 kits in the set I believe.

There are 11 now. Just added a new x-wing. Falcon works out to 1:350 scale. Star destroyer is in the tens of thousands!!! Beautiful kits.
The 144 falcon is truly amazing and worth every penny. A joy to build and paint.

Well look at that. I haven't seen the blue X-Wing yet, but I'll keep a look out. I'm quite sure the 1/144 Falcon is in my future. I also started getting ideas after seeing your post on the 1/144 AT-AT as well, but that one might be just out of range for me. BTW Do you know if the 2-legged walker (AT-ST?) that comes with the snowspeeder is in scale?
