Thanks JD 😄 I'd love to get hold of another one of these old MPC jobs to see what results I could get now.....getting them for a sensible price is a problem though!

Album info

Another one of my stash completed around 1997, using a video of Star Wars (New Hope) on pause for reference, as that's all I had available at the time!
The model was sprayed overall with Halfords white primer, with all marking and weathering brush painted with Humbrol enamels. Extra wear and tear was given by gently rubbing with a well worn piece of 3M Superfine sanding sponge.
Built out the box, the only modification made was re-carving the flight gear and helmet of the pilot using a scalpel.
